Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FF1B "" Fullwidth Semicolon is a typographic variant of the standard semicolon designed for use in monospaced and East Asian text environments, where it occupies the full character width typically associated with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) scripts. It is encoded in the Unicode Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block and is primarily intended to maintain visual alignment and consistency when mixed with fullwidth characters, such as in Japanese or Chinese digital text where punctuation marks are often proportionally spaced. Unlike its narrower counterpart, the fullwidth semicolon has a wider appearance and is commonly used in plain text documents, coding environments, or user interfaces that require uniform character spacing.
