U+FF7A Halfwidth Katakana Letter Ko
U+FF7A was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms in the Basic Multilingual Plane.
This character is a Other Letter and is mainly used in the Katakana script.
The glyph is a narrow version of the glyph Katakana Letter Ko. Accordingly, its width in East Asian Text is halfwidth. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. This katakana joins with other adjacent katakana to form a word. U+FF7A offers a line break opportunity at its position, except in some numeric contexts.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
こ, in hiragana or コ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represents one mora. Both represent IPA: [ko]. The shape of these kana comes from the kanji 己.
This character may be supplemented by a dakuten; it becomes ご in hiragana, ゴ in katakana and go in Hepburn romanization. Also, the pronunciation is affected, transforming into [ɡo] in initial positions and varying between [ŋo] and [ɣo] in the middle of words.
A handakuten (゜) does not occur with ko in normal Japanese text, but it may be used by linguists to indicate a nasal pronunciation [ŋo].
