U+FE6B "﹫" Small Commercial At Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FE6B "﹫" Small Commercial At is a small form variant of the standard at sign (@), typically used in East Asian typography, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, where it appears within certain fonts or in vertical writing contexts to maintain visual proportion and consistency with other small-form punctuation and symbols. It belongs to the Small Form Variants block, which provides smaller versions of common punctuation marks for compatibility with legacy character sets like the Chinese GB 2312 standard. While visually similar to the regular at sign, its primary function is typographic refinement rather than semantic distinction, and it is not commonly used in modern email addresses or social media handles, which rely on the standard U+0040 "@".
