THE DIFFERENCE

Same text, different character cells.

Full-width characters occupy a full Japanese character cell. Half-width characters are narrower forms used for Latin text, numbers, and some Katakana.

全角・半角 CONVERTER

Why won’t a Japanese website accept my text?

The text can look correct while using the wrong underlying width. If the form says 全角, use full-width; if it says 半角, use half-width.

Full-width letters

ABC becomes ABC. These are different Unicode characters even though the letters are recognizable.

Half-width Katakana

テスト becomes テスト. Not every Japanese character has a half-width equivalent.

Spaces count too

A normal space and a full-width Japanese space are different characters and can trigger validation errors.
