CategoryFullwidth ASCII variants
DescriptionThe Unicode character >, or U+FF1E, is the "Fullwidth Greater-Than Sign". It belongs to the "Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms" block and falls under the "Symbol, Math" category. This character is a variant of the common greater-than sign (>) used in mathematical and logical expressions to indicate that the value on the left is larger than the value on the right. The difference lies in its fullwidth form, which is designed to occupy an amount of horizontal space that is consistent with East Asian typography and writing systems, where characters are typically square and occupy a full cell space, unlike the varying widths of Latin characters.
