Unicode Version 17.0

U+2031 "‱" Per Ten Thousand Sign is a typographic symbol used to represent a proportion of one part out of ten thousand, making it a further subdivision of the more common percent sign (%) and the per mille sign (‰). It is often employed in fields like finance, statistics, and mathematics to denote extremely small ratios, such as interest rates or demographic figures, without resorting to decimal fractions. Visually, it resembles the percent sign but with an additional zero and a slight horizontal modification, reflecting its function as a precise marker for ten-thousandths.
