U+FF4D "ｍ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter M Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ｍ
U+FF4D "ｍ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter M is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter "m" that occupies the same visual width as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character, which is typically twice the width of a normal Latin letter. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, a range of characters designed to maintain consistent spacing and alignment when mixed with East Asian scripts in digital text. This fullwidth form is often used in monospaced or fixed-width contexts, such as in terminal emulators, old computer systems, or when aiming for uniform appearance in CJK text, where it represents the letter "m" but with a broader, square-shaped glyph.
