½

Vulgar fraction one half

The most common precomposed fraction: 1½ cups, 3½ mm. Use it in running text, labels and recipes where a stacked fraction would be overkill. For fractions with no precomposed form, compose digits with the fraction slash ⁄ (U+2044), which good fonts render as a proper fraction. Latin-1, so support is universal.
