半角カナ
1. half-width kana
2. Half-width kanaare katakana characters displayed at half their normal width, instead of the usual square aspect ratio. For example, the usual (full-width) form of the katakana ka is カ while the half-width form is ｶ. There are no half-width hiragana or kanji. Half-width kana were used in the early days of Japanese computing, to allow Japanese characters to be displayed on the same grid as monospaced fonts of Latin characters. Half-width hiragana or kanji were not used.
