U+FFDA "ￚ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Eu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ￚ
U+FFDA "ￚ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter Eu is a typographic variant of the fullwidth Hangul letter ᅳ, designed to occupy exactly half the width of a standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) character cell for compatibility with older computer systems and text environments that used fixed-width character grids. It represents the Korean vowel 'eu' and is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms Unicode block, which was created to facilitate interoperability with legacy character encodings such as KS X 1001. While rarely used in modern digital text, this character allows for precise alignment in monospaced or space constrained layouts, preserving the phonetic function of its fullwidth counterpart in a more compact form.
