U+FF07 "＇" Fullwidth Apostrophe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
＇
U+FF07 "＇" Fullwidth Apostrophe is a typographic symbol that occupies the full width of a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character cell, making it distinct from the standard ASCII apostrophe U+0027. It is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block and is used primarily in East Asian text environments where monospaced or proportional fonts require symmetrical spacing for punctuation. This character often serves as a fullwidth equivalent of the apostrophe or single quotation mark, appearing in contexts such as mathematical notation, transliteration, or stylized text, though it is less common than its halfwidth counterpart due to modern Unicode normalization practices.
