U+FF36 "Ｖ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter V Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ｖ
U+FF36 "Ｖ" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter V is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter "V", specifically designed to occupy the same width as East Asian ideographic characters, such as those in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. This character belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block and is encoded primarily for compatibility with legacy computer systems and text formatting that require monospaced alignment in a fullwidth context. Its visual appearance is identical to a regular uppercase "V" but takes up a square-shaped cell, making it useful for creating balanced layouts in multilingual documents or user interfaces where mixing Latin and CJK characters is common.
