U+FFA8 "ᄄ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Ssangtikeut Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FFA8 "ᄄ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Ssangtikeut is a typographic variant of the Hangul consonant representing the doubled "t" sound, like the double "t" in "butter" in English, but it appears in a narrower, halfwidth form designed for compatibility with older East Asian character sets and fixed-width text layouts. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, which was created to map fullwidth CJK characters to their halfwidth counterparts for use in monospaced environments, and this specific character corresponds to the fullwidth Hangul letter 쌍티긋 (Ssangtikeut). While it is rarely used in modern digital text, it may occasionally appear in legacy systems or when precise horizontal spacing is required for aligning Hangul with halfwidth Latin characters or numerals.
