Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+FF37 "W" Fullwidth Latin Capital Letter W is a typographic variant of the standard Latin letter W, designed to occupy the same fixed width as Chinese and Japanese ideographic characters, known as fullwidth forms. It belongs to the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, where it serves primarily as a compatibility character for use in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text environments that require uniform character spacing, such as in monospaced fonts or legacy computing systems. This ensures that the Latin letter aligns visually with native scripts like Hanzi, Kanji, or Hangul, avoiding the narrower appearance of its halfwidth counterpart.
