Some Concepts About Full-Width and Half-Width.
"Full width" refers to the character width of a glyph in text. In the context of character encoding and typography, a full-width character occupies a space equivalent to two half-width characters.
In East Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, characters are often categorized as either full-width (全角, Zenkaku) or half-width (半角, Hankaku). Full-width characters typically take up more horizontal space and are often used for ideographic characters and symbols. On the other hand, half-width characters are narrower and are often used for alphanumeric characters.
In the context of computing, especially when dealing with character encoding standards like Unicode or ASCII, the distinction between full-width and half-width characters is important for proper text rendering and layout, especially in mixed-language environments.
