[edit]⁄
- (mathematics) Used to separate the numerator from the denominator in fractions.

Usage notes
[edit]In an Open Type font, the Unicode character U+2044 FRACTION SLASH triggers a preceding string of ASCII digits to display as numerators, and a string of following digits to display as denominators (e.g. 123⁄456). Compare U+2215 DIVISION SLASH, ∕, which triggers no such behavior (e.g. 123∕456).
Any non-digit character will terminate the fraction. Thus to display a mixed fraction such as 11⁄12 (1 + 1⁄12), a non-printing character such as U+2064 INVISIBLE PLUS may be used.
For other variants of the virgule / forward slash, see U+002F SOLIDUS, /.
