U+FFC6 "ￆ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Eo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ￆ
U+FFC6 "ￆ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Eo is a typographic variant of the standard Hangul letter "ㅓ" (eo), designed to occupy half the width of a typical fullwidth CJK character, which is useful for compatibility with older East Asian text encodings and for monospaced digital environments where space efficiency is prioritized. This character is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block in Unicode, allowing text to be displayed in a compact, narrow format while remaining distinct in its semantic value as the vowel sound "eo" in the Korean writing system.
