U+FFC7 "ￇ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter E Unicode Character

U+FFC7 "ￇ" Halfwidth Hangul Letter E is a variant form of the Hangul letter ㅔ designed to occupy exactly half the width of a standard fullwidth CJK character, making it part of the halfwidth and fullwidth forms block. This character was primarily intended for use in legacy computing environments and East Asian typographic systems where a compatible, narrower representation of the Hangul syllable component was needed for alignment in monospaced or mixed-width text. It represents the same phonetic value as its fullwidth counterpart but is visually narrower, allowing it to fit more compactly in contexts like terminal displays, early digital character grids, or mixed scripts where proportional spacing was not available.
