U+FF2B "Ｋ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter K Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ｋ
U+FF2B "Ｋ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter K is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter K that occupies the same horizontal space as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character, making it twice the width of a typical Latin letter. This fullwidth form is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, primarily used in East Asian text processing to ensure consistent alignment and visual harmony when mixed with other fullwidth characters. It was encoded for compatibility with legacy character sets and is often employed in monospaced environments or where proportional spacing is not desired.
