Fractions

Unicode has single-character fractions for the most common values: ½ ¼ ¾ in the Latin-1 set, and ⅓ ⅔ ⅛ and others in the Number Forms block (U+2150 to U+218F). They are handy in recipes, measurements, sewing and maths notes.

Only a limited set of fractions exists as single characters. For other values you can combine superscript and subscript numbers with a fraction slash (for example ⁵⁄₈), though how well it displays depends on the font.

Practical Tips

In a recipe, ½ cup is easier to read than 1/2 cup, and it will not wrap in the middle.
If you need a fraction that has no character, write it with a normal slash (5/8) so it is always readable.
A screen reader says “one half” for ½. Written 1/2 might be read as a date in some contexts.
Search may not match ½ with 1/2. If people need to search for it, consider writing it in the form they will type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fractions exist as single characters?

The most common ones: halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths and a few more. Others have to be built.

How do I write a fraction that has no character?

Use a normal slash (5/8), or combine superscript and subscript digits with a fraction slash. The second option depends on font support.

Do fractions work in spreadsheets?

They paste as text. If you need to calculate with them, enter the values as numbers instead.

How symbols look depends on the font and system of each device. We have not tested them on every device. Updated: October 2026
