FAQ

What are Full-width and Half-width characters?

In CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) computing, full-width characters occupy two standard character spaces, while half-width characters occupy one. For example, 'A' is half-width, while 'Ａ' is full-width.

When should I use this tool?

Use it when you need to standardize text input for databases, fix formatting issues in documents, or prepare text for systems that require specific character widths.

Does it affect Kanji?

Kanji characters are generally always full-width, so they remain unchanged unless there are specific half-width variants available (which is rare).
