U+FFD2 "ￒ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Yo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ￒ
U+FFD2 "ￒ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Yo is a compatibility glyph that represents a halfwidth version of the Hangul character ㅛ (yo), designed to fit within the narrow character spacing used in older computing environments, such as East Asian terminals and fixed-width fonts. It is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, which was created to maintain visual consistency with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character sets. This specific character encodes the same phonetic value as its fullwidth counterpart but occupies only half the width, enabling mixed text layouts where fullwidth and halfwidth characters can coexist without breaking alignment.
