U+FF0C "," Fullwidth Comma Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FF0C "," Fullwidth Comma is a typographic symbol that represents the comma character rendered at the fullwidth size, which typically occupies the same horizontal space as an East Asian ideographic character, such as those used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. Unlike the standard ASCII comma (U+002C), which is narrower, the fullwidth comma is designed to visually align with fullwidth characters in monospaced or CJK text layouts, ensuring consistent spacing within vertically or horizontally written lines. It is encoded in the Unicode block for CJK Symbols and Punctuation and is commonly used in East Asian typography to separate items in a list, clauses in a sentence, or for other grammatical functions, particularly when the text is formatted using fullwidth or double-width character sets.
