Unlike monospaced fonts, a halfwidth character occupies half the width of a fullwidth character, hence the name. Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms is also the name of a Unicode block U+FF00–FFEF, provided so that older encodings containing both halfwidth and fullwidth characters can have lossless translation to and from Unicode.
The range U+FFA0–FFDC encodes halfwidth forms of compatibility jamo characters for Hangul, in a transposition of their 1974 standard layout. It is used in the mapping of some IBM encodings for Korean, such as IBM code page 933, which allows the use of the Shift Out and Shift In characters to shift to a double-byte character set. [5]
Unicode chart Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms}} provides a table listing the characters in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms Unicode block. Hangul and katakana subsets can be listed using an optional parameter.
Traditionally, this means either a single or double character width, [1] although the term has also been applied to fonts using fixed character widths with another simple ratio between them. [2] These dual character widths are also referred to as half-width and full-width, where a full-width character occupies double the width of a half-width ...
In the JIS X 0201 standard, katakana characters are printed in normal (full) width, not half-width. Half-width characters were only used for display during the period when characters were displayed at half-width (and single-byte encodings were used), before full-width character displays (and associated double-byte encodings such as JIS X 0208 ...
95 characters; the 52 alphabet characters belong to the Latin script. The remaining 43 belong to the common script. The 33 characters classified as ASCII Punctuation & Symbols are also sometimes referred to as ASCII special characters. Often only these characters (and not other Unicode punctuation) are what is meant when an organization says a ...
