Fullwidth Full Stop Letter
． (fullwidth full stop) is a fullwidth punctuation mark used like a period in many East Asian text styles.
U+FF0E
The symbol ． is the fullwidth full stop, Unicode U+FF0E. It’s commonly used where fullwidth punctuation is preferred for alignment and typography. You can copy it directly or use its Unicode forms in code and web pages.
Fullwidth Full Stop Letter Meaning
The fullwidth full stop (．) is a punctuation character used as a period, but in a fullwidth form. Unlike the regular ASCII period (.), it occupies more horizontal space and matches the width of many fullwidth characters used in East Asian typography. In practice, it helps keep punctuation visually aligned with fullwidth letters, numbers, and symbols in layouts and text streams. It’s also useful in environments where fullwidth punctuation is expected (for example, certain legacy encodings, formatting conventions, or typography settings). In technical contexts, it’s simply the Unicode character at U+FF0E.
Common uses
- •Typing or formatting sentences in styles that require fullwidth punctuation
- •Maintaining consistent alignment in East Asian typography and monospaced/width-sensitive layouts
- •Preparing text for UI designs that use fullwidth character sets
- •Using in documents or datasets that already follow fullwidth punctuation rules
- •Adding a fullwidth period in multilingual content where ASCII punctuation may look misaligned

Is ． the same as the normal period (.)?
They both act like a period, but ． is the fullwidth version (U+FF0E). It has different width/typographic behavior than the ASCII period (U+002E).
How do I type ． using Unicode?
You can use U+FF0E, the HTML entity ．, or the escapes \\FF0E (CSS) and \\u{FF0E} (JavaScript).
When should I use the fullwidth full stop?
Use it when fullwidth punctuation is part of the style, layout, or data formatting—especially for East Asian typography and width-sensitive alignment.
Will fonts render ． differently from .?
Often, yes. Because it’s fullwidth, it usually occupies more horizontal space, so it may look more aligned with fullwidth characters than the standard period.
