1. Understanding Full/Half-width Characters
Full-width characters occupy two bytes (e.g., ＡＢＣ，１２３), while half-width characters occupy one byte (e.g., ABC, 123). Mixing them in Chinese text or code can cause alignment issues or syntax errors. HeronTool provides "Half to Full Width" and its reverse tool to convert instantly without manual editing.
2. Step-by-Step Usage (Using HeronTool)
- Open the tool: Go to HeronTool's website, under "Text Processing", choose "Half to Full Width" (or the reverse).

3. FAQ
Q1: Will punctuation change after conversion?
Yes. Full-width punctuation (，。！) and half-width (, . !) will be converted accordingly, helping unify style.
Q2: How about Japanese or Korean full-width characters?
HeronTool supports Unicode full-width ranges, correctly converting kana and Hangul, but only for width differences.
Q3: Will it break URLs or code?
It will alter spaces and symbols. For code, save a backup first if half-width is required.
