U+FF50 "ｐ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter P Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ｐ
U+FF50 "ｐ" Fullwidth Latin Small Letter P is a typographic variant of the standard lowercase letter "p," designed to occupy the same width as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character, typically taking up two monospaced Latin character cells. This character belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, and it is used primarily in East Asian text environments to achieve visual alignment when mixing Latin letters with fullwidth ideographs or punctuation. It appears identical in shape to its standard counterpart but is distinct in its encoding to facilitate proper spacing and rendering in documents that require uniform character widths.
