U+FFA0 "" Halfwidth Hangul Filler Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FFA0 "" Halfwidth Hangul Filler is a typographic space used within the Korean writing system to represent an empty or null syllable block in halfwidth form, primarily for compatibility with older East Asian text encodings. Unlike a regular space, which separates words, this character occupies the width of a halfwidth Hangul syllable, allowing it to preserve whitespace or position within text that is tightly formatted for monospaced environments or legacy systems. It is distinct from other Hangul filler characters, such as the fullwidth variant, due to its narrower appearance and specific technical application in converting between fullwidth and halfwidth character sets.
