U+FFEC "" Halfwidth Downwards Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FFEC "" Halfwidth Downwards Arrow is a typographic symbol included in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block, designed to match the visual proportions of standard East Asian characters when used in monospaced or CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) text environments. It represents a downward pointing arrow with a single stroke and occupies a narrower character width than its fullwidth counterpart, allowing it to fit into text that uses a halfwidth character cell. This arrow is often used in technical documentation, user interfaces, or legacy computing contexts to indicate a downward direction or a decrease, functioning as a concise glyph compatible with fixed-width layouts.
