U+FF5C "｜" Fullwidth Vertical Line Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FF5C "｜" Fullwidth Vertical Line is a typographic variant of the standard vertical line or pipe character, designed specifically for use in East Asian scripts where characters occupy a full-width space to achieve visual alignment in monospaced and proportional CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text. Unlike its half-width counterpart, this character stretches to the same width as most CJK ideographs and punctuation, making it ideal for tasks such as creating vertical separators in tables, menus, or layout grids within documents and user interfaces that require consistent character spacing. It is also distinct from other similar symbols like the broken bar or the box-drawing vertical line, serving primarily as a punctuation or delimiter in full-width text environments.
