U+FFCF "ᅬ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Oe Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+FFCF "ᅬ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Oe is a typographic variant of the Hangul letter ㅚ (oe), designed to occupy half the width of a standard fullwidth character, marking it as part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block used primarily for compatibility with legacy East Asian character encodings and terminal environments. This character represents the same phonographic syllable as its fullwidth counterpart but is narrower in appearance, allowing it to fit neatly into fixed-width text grids or alongside halfwidth Latin characters. It is one of several halfwidth Hangul letters included in Unicode to facilitate the representation of mixed-script text in contexts where uniform character width is required, such as in older computer systems or certain typewriter and display standards.
