Fullwidth Apostrophe ＇

＇ (U+FF07) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.

What it is and where it’s used: Fullwidth Apostrophe is part of the Symbols family (block: Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.

History & usage: FULLWIDTH APOSTROPHE depicts an apostrophe used in fullwidth typography. It helps structure text and convey tone in the way punctuation is presented alongside fullwidth characters. In practice, it marks possessives or omissions within text that follows fullwidth width rules, and it supports consistent alignment in monospaced or grid layouts used for East Asian and other multilingual content. It also appears in user interfaces, captions, or data fields where punctuation must match the surrounding fullwidth glyphs for visual harmony. Finally, its usage varies by style and locale, so writers adapt it to different punctuation conventions. Cross‑platform, it may render slightly wider than a standard apostrophe, and accessible design should rely on clear font fallbacks and readable text for screen readers.

Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+FF07 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
