About this character

U+305E (ぞ) is HIRAGANA LETTER ZO, a letter in the Hiragana block. It belongs to the Hiragana script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is precomposed. Under NFD it decomposes into U+305D そ + U+3099 ◌゙, and NFC recombines that sequence into this single codepoint, so both spellings are canonically equivalent and should compare equal after normalization. See the normalization guide.

Its East Asian Width is Wide, so terminals and monospaced layouts give it two columns.
