Name | Fullwidth hyphen-minus | |
Unicode number | U+FF0D | |
Category | Fullwidth ASCII variants |
Description | The Unicode character -, or U+FF0D, is known as the "Fullwidth Hyphen-Minus". It belongs to the "Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms" block and falls under the "Punctuation, Dash" category in the Unicode standard. This character is essentially the wide version of the standard hyphen-minus (-) that is used in ASCII. The fullwidth form is designed to occupy the same width as a fullwidth East Asian character, ensuring consistent spacing in mixed-language documents or when using fonts that provide both halfwidth and fullwidth characters. It functions as both a hyphen, to join words or syllables, and a minus sign, for mathematical operations. The specific visual representation can vary slightly based on the font and typography used, but it typically appears as a horizontal line centered vertically. |
