U+FF35 "Ｕ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ｕ
U+FF35 "Ｕ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter U is a typographic variant of the standard uppercase U, designed to occupy the same width as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character, typically twice the width of a standard Latin letter. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, and its primary use is in East Asian computing environments where text is often formatted in a monospaced grid, allowing Latin characters to align neatly with fullwidth Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters in documents, user interfaces, or terminal displays. Unlike the regular ASCII "U" (U+0055), this fullwidth version is primarily intended for visual consistency in mixed-script text rather than for semantic or linguistic variation.
