U+FF50
ｐ (fullwidth latin small letter p) is a Unicode character that looks like a lowercase “p” but is wider (fullwidth). It’s commonly used when text must match East Asian typography or fullwidth alignment. Use it when you specifically need the fullwidth form rather than the regular ASCII “p”.
Fullwidth Latin Small Letter P Letter Meaning
The character ｐ is “FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER P” with Unicode code point U+FF50. Unlike the standard ASCII letter “p” (U+0070), the fullwidth form is designed to occupy more horizontal space, which can be important for aligning text in monospaced layouts, legacy systems, or style requirements that expect fullwidth characters. In everyday writing it typically represents the same letter sound as “p”, but visually it differs, making it useful for consistent width in headings, UI elements, or decorative text. When searching or validating input, note that fullwidth and ASCII letters are not the same character.
Common uses
- •Typography alignment in East Asian style layouts where fullwidth characters are expected
- •Decorative or stylized text in banners, nicknames, and social posts requiring fullwidth spacing
- •Creating consistent-width UI labels when mixing Latin text with fullwidth characters
- •Copying from sources that use fullwidth character sets to preserve exact appearance
- •Preparing content for legacy or fixed-width text environments that distinguish fullwidth characters
