About this character

U+FF59 (ｙ) is FULLWIDTH LATIN SMALL LETTER Y, a lowercase letter in the Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms block. It belongs to the Latin script. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

Its uppercase form is U+FF39 Ｙ.

It is a fullwidth form of U+0079 y (compatibility decomposition <wide>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0079 y. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

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