U+FF48 "ｈ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter H Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ｈ
U+FF48 "ｈ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter H is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter "h," designed to occupy the same width as East Asian characters in monospaced or CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text environments. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, where it is encoded to allow Latin letters to align properly with fullwidth characters like those in Japanese katakana or Chinese hanzi, such as in user interfaces or documents that mix scripts. This character ensures visual uniformity in contexts where proportional spacing is not desired, and it is used primarily in East Asian computing systems or in stylized text that requires a double-width appearance.
