Fullwidth Commercial At Letter
＠ is the fullwidth version of the at sign, often used for compatibility with fullwidth character sets.
U+FF20
The character ＠ is called the Fullwidth Commercial At. It’s a typographic variant of the regular @ sign. You can copy it directly or use the provided HTML, CSS, and JavaScript escapes.
Fullwidth Commercial At Letter Meaning
＠ (U+FF20) is the fullwidth form of the “commercial at” character. In appearance, it occupies more horizontal space than the standard @, making it fit better with monospaced or fullwidth typographic layouts (common in some East Asian typography contexts). Practically, it is often used when text is expected to use fullwidth characters consistently. It may be visually similar to @, but it is still a different Unicode character, so it may not behave the same in systems that strictly parse standard email-style addresses or identifiers.
Common uses
- •Using fullwidth characters in Japanese/typography-styled text layouts
- •Designing UI elements where text must use a consistent fullwidth grid
- •Creating text art or banners that align with other fullwidth characters
- •Replacing @ with a fullwidth variant for stylistic branding in static text
- •Entering or displaying identifiers in systems that require fullwidth forms
