Glyph for U+FFEE

U+FFEE Halfwidth White Circle

U+FFEE was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+FF00 to U+FFEF Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is a narrow version of the glyph Glyph for U+25CB White Circle. Accordingly, its width in East Asian Text is halfwidth. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+FFEE forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms is the name of a Unicode block U+FF00–FFEF, provided so that older encodings containing both halfwidth and fullwidth characters can have lossless translation to/from Unicode. It is the second-to-last block of the Basic Multilingual Plane, followed only by the short Specials block at U+FFF0–FFFF. Its block name in Unicode 1.0 was Halfwidth and Fullwidth Variants.

Range U+FF01–FF5E reproduces the characters of ASCII 21 to 7E as fullwidth forms. U+FF00 does not correspond to a fullwidth ASCII 20 (space character), since that role is already fulfilled by U+3000 "ideographic space".

Range U+FF61–FF9F encodes halfwidth forms of katakana and related punctuation in a transposition of A1 to DF in the JIS X 0201 encoding – see half-width kana.

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. Since the double-byte character set could contain compatibility jamo, halfwidth variants are needed to provide round-trip compatibility.

Range U+FFE0–FFEE includes fullwidth and halfwidth symbols.
