U+FF3E "" Fullwidth Circumflex Accent Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FF3E "" Fullwidth Circumflex Accent is a fullwidth version of the standard ASCII circumflex accent, designed for use in CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) typographic contexts where characters occupy a fixed square width. It appears as a larger, wider caret symbol compared to its ASCII counterpart, and while it visually resembles a diacritical mark used in some Latin-based languages, in practice it is often employed in East Asian text as a spacing symbol for annotation, mathematical notation, or as a visual indicator in terminal interfaces and programming contexts. This character is part of the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms Unicode block, which provides fullwidth variants of ASCII characters to maintain visual consistency when mixed with ideographic text.
