U+FE32 "" Presentation Form for Vertical En Dash Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FE32 "" Presentation Form for Vertical En Dash is a typographic glyph used specifically in vertical writing systems, such as traditional Chinese and Japanese text, to represent an en dash when the text orientation shifts from horizontal to vertical. This character serves as the vertical equivalent of the standard en dash (U+2013) and is part of the CJK Compatibility Forms block, designed to preserve the correct visual appearance of punctuation in vertical layouts where the dash must be rotated or repositioned to align with the vertical flow of characters. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent rendering across digital platforms when displaying vertical text, preventing the horizontal en dash from appearing awkwardly misaligned in such contexts.
