U+FF47 "g" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter G Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FF47 "g" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter G is a typographic variant of the standard lowercase "g," designed specifically for use in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text environments where characters occupy a fixed, square-shaped width. This fullwidth form is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, and it is commonly employed in East Asian typography to ensure visual alignment and balance when mixing Latin letters with ideographic scripts or punctuation that each fill a full character cell. Unlike its standard ASCII counterpart, which is halfwidth, this version is proportional to the width of Han characters, making it essential for consistent monospaced layouts in digital text, programming environments, or formatted documents like tables and spreadsheets.
