U+FF09 "）" Fullwidth Right Parenthesis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FF09 "）" Fullwidth Right Parenthesis is a typographic variant of the standard ASCII right parenthesis, designed to occupy the same horizontal space as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographic character, typically twice the width of a regular Latin parenthesis. Commonly used in East Asian text layouts, it serves as the closing counterpart to the fullwidth left parenthesis (U+FF08) and is frequently employed in formal writing, such as in official documents, literature, and digital interfaces that require balanced vertical alignment alongside Han characters or other fullwidth punctuation. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper display and interoperation across systems that support wide character encodings, preserving the visual harmony of East Asian typography.
