U+FF60 "｠" Fullwidth Right White Parenthesis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FF60 "｠" Fullwidth Right White Parenthesis is a typographic symbol from the CJK Compatibility Forms block, designed to visually match the width of East Asian ideographs for consistent alignment in monospaced or fullwidth text settings. Unlike standard parentheses, its glyph is rendered as an unfilled or hollow outline of a right parenthesis, making it a stylistic variant often used in decorative or display contexts, particularly in older Japanese or Chinese text systems where fullwidth punctuation helps maintain visual balance in character grids. It shares its usage with its left counterpart, the Fullwidth Left White Parenthesis (U+FF5F), and together they serve as visual alternatives to regular parentheses in certain font families or design templates.
