Single-character fractions

These are precomposed fractions — each one is a single Unicode character, not a "1", a slash and a "2" stuck together — so they line up neatly in recipes, measurements, spreadsheets and posts without throwing off the line height. They cover the common cooking and tape-measure fractions (halves, quarters, thirds, eighths). For a fraction that doesn't exist as a single character, the fraction slash (⁄) joins a numerator and denominator into a proper-looking fraction in fonts that support it, or you can write it inline as 5/16. For built-up fractions in documents, a word processor's equation editor is the more flexible route.

FAQ

How do I type ½ and other fractions?
Copy them above — each is a single character. Many word processors also auto-format 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 into ½, ¼ and ¾ as you type, but copying covers the ones that don't auto-format.
Can I make any fraction this way?
Only the common ones exist as single characters. For others, use the fraction slash (⁄) between the numbers, an equation editor, or just write it as a/b like 7/16.
