U+FF28 "H" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter H Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FF28 "H" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter H is a typographic variant of the standard Latin capital H, designed to occupy the same width as East Asian ideographic characters, such as those in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, where fullwidth characters like this one are traditionally used in monospaced or CJK text environments to ensure visual alignment with other fullwidth symbols and kanji. Unlike the regular ASCII "H" (U+0048), which takes up a narrower width, this fullwidth version is typically used for stylistic consistency in CJK typography, where it can appear in headings, signage, or digital displays that require a uniform character grid. Its appearance is identical to a standard H but with added horizontal space, making it a purely formatting specific character rather than a semantic distinction in language.
