U+FFD5 "ᅰ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter We Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+FFD5 "ᅰ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter We is a typographic variant of the standard Hangul syllable "웨" (we), specifically designed to occupy half the width of a fullwidth character for compatibility with legacy East Asian character encodings and monospaced text environments. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, which maps fullwidth characters to their narrower counterparts for use in systems that require fixed-width CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) fonts. This character represents the Korean syllable "we" but in a condensed form, often employed in terminal displays, old computer systems, or text where space is constrained. Its appearance is identical to the fullwidth version except for its reduced horizontal advance, ensuring proper alignment in mixed-width text layouts.
