- Half-width kana (半角カナ, Hankaku kana) are katakana characters displayed compressed at half their normal width (a 1:2 aspect ratio), instead of the usual square (1:1) aspect ratio. For example, the usual (full-width) form of the katakana ka is カ while the half-width form is ｶ. Half-width hiragana is not included in Unicode, although it's usable on Web or in e-books via CSS's font-feature-settings: "hwid" 1 with Adobe-Japan1-6 based OpenType fonts. Half-width kanji is not usable on modern computers, but is used in some receipt printers, electric bulletin board and old computers. 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 kanji were not used. Half-width kana characters are not generally used today, but find some use in specific settings, such as cash register displays, on shop receipts, Japanese digital television and DVD subtitles, and mailing address labels. Their usage is sometimes also a stylistic choice, particularly frequent in certain Internet slang. The term "half-width kana", which strictly refers only to how kana are displayed, not how they are stored – is also used loosely to refer to the A0–DF (hexadecimal) block where katakana are stored in some character encodings, such as JIS X 0201 (1969) – see , below. This is formally incorrect, however – this JIS standard simply specifies that katakana can be stored in these locations, without specifying how they should be displayed; the confusion is because in early computing, the characters stored here were in fact displayed as half-width kana – see , below.

- 半角カナ（はんかくカナ）、半角片仮名（はんかくかたかな, Halfwidth Katakana）とは、コンピュータで使用される文字集合のひとつで、もっぱら幅が通常の半分（半角）で表示または印刷される特殊な片仮名のことである。 日本におけるパーソナルコンピュータの黎明期から存在し、後に平仮名や漢字など多様な文字が利用可能になるまではコンピュータ上で日本語を書き表すことができる唯一の手段だった。 (ja)
- 半形假名（日文：半角カナ）是對 JIS X 0201 標準收納的片假名、幾個基本日文標點符號（日文：句読点 或 約物）、濁點和的統稱。其包含日文的最基礎符號，能以最簡約的方式表達日語。每個「半形假名」只需要八位元，可以看成是對 ISO 646 / ASCII 的擴充；佔用的文字寬度亦一樣，通常只有普通漢字的一半，故稱為「半形假名」。 例如普通（全形）的片假名「カ」，半形的是「ｶ」。平假名和漢字並無半形版本。 (zh)
