This article will demonstrate a universal method for all Windows programs, an MS Word specific method using the Symbol library and the use of MS Office’s AutoCorrect While a standard forward slash may be sufficient, I prefer the Unicode Fraction Slash (⁄ or H2044). The denominators can be generated with the Unicode characters ₀ to ₉ (H2080 to H2089). After that, Unicode characters for ⁴ to ⁹ (H2074 to H2079) and ⁰ (H2070) should be put to use.

So readily available, Unicode characters give us that ability by constructing the fraction's numerator and denominator with superscripts and subscripts. When it becomes necessary to produce less common fractions that are not Some fractions are available as ASCII characters (¼, ½ and ¾) and a limited number of others are available within Unicode's extended character set (⅓, ⅔, ⅛, ⅜, ⅝ and ⅞).
