U+FF93 "ﾓ" Halfwidth Katakana Letter Mo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ﾓ
U+FF93 "ﾓ" Halfwidth Katakana Letter Mo is a typographic variant of the standard fullwidth katakana character モ, representing the syllable "mo" in the Japanese writing system. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms Unicode block and is primarily used in legacy computing environments or text systems where characters must fit into a single byte width for compatibility with older terminal displays, data processing, or fixed-width fonts. This halfwidth form retains the phonetic value of its fullwidth counterpart while occupying less horizontal space, making it useful for maintaining alignment in technical or constrained layouts.
