Number Forms

Vulgar fractions, Roman numerals, and specialized number forms used in linear text.

What this block contains

Vulgar fractions, Roman numerals, and specialized number forms used in linear text. The range U+2150–U+218F groups related encoded characters, but membership in the same Unicode block does not guarantee that two glyphs share a mathematical meaning, font design, or input method.

Code point range

U+2150–U+218F

Examples

Copy an example as text, then verify its code point and accessible name in the destination. Do not identify a character only by appearance: font fallback can make different code points look almost identical.

Notes

  • Precomposed fractions are limited; structured fractions are preferable in equations.

Publishing checklist

  • Preserve the original Unicode code point instead of converting the glyph to an image.
  • Use LaTeX or MathML when the character belongs to a structured expression.
  • Test the chosen font, copy-and-paste result, search behavior, and screen-reader pronunciation.
