U+FF5D "}" Fullwidth Right Curly Bracket Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FF5D "}" Fullwidth Right Curly Bracket is a typographic variant of the standard ASCII right curly bracket, designed to occupy the same horizontal space as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character, typically twice the width of its regular counterpart. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block and is commonly used in East Asian text environments where characters must align vertically in a monospaced grid, such as in certain programming contexts or typesetting systems that require balanced, square dimensions. This fullwidth version ensures visual consistency when mixed with other fullwidth punctuation or ideographs, though its usage is largely restricted to specific international encoding standards rather than everyday writing.
