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]
A command prompt with Korean localisation, showing halfwidth and fullwidth characters. In CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) computing, graphic characters are traditionally classed into fullwidth [a] and halfwidth [b] characters. Unlike monospaced fonts, a halfwidth character occupies half the width of a fullwidth character, hence the name.

Thus "H₂O" (using a subscript 2 character) is supposed to be identical to "H 2 O" (with subscript markup). In reality, many fonts that include these characters ignore the Unicode definition, and instead design the digits for mathematical numerator and denominator glyphs, [3] [4] which are aligned with the cap line and the baseline, respectively.
Finally, half-width kanji is usable on modern computers, and is used in some receipt printers, electric bulletin board and old computers. [2] Half-width kana were used in the early days of Japanese computing, to allow Japanese characters to be displayed on the same grid as monospaced fonts of Latin characters. Half-width kanji were not used.
Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.
