U+FFD3 "ￓ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter U Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ￓ
U+FFD3 "ￓ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter U is a typographic variant of the Korean Hangul syllable 'U' (ㅜ), specifically designed to occupy exactly half the width of a standard fullwidth character, which is typical for CJK compatibility forms in legacy computing environments. Its primary purpose is to ensure proper visual alignment and spacing when mixed with other halfwidth characters, such as those found in older terminal systems, East Asian character encodings, or text that requires a monospaced grid. As part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, this character allows text to maintain consistent vertical and horizontal layout without distorting the original phonetic value of the Hangul letter.
