Unicode Version 17.0
⅒
U+2152 "⅒" Vulgar Fraction One Tenth is a precomposed typographic symbol representing the fraction one tenth, encoded in the Number Forms block for convenient use in text, particularly in contexts like recipes, mathematics, or measurements where a single visual glyph is preferred over separate digits and a slash. Unlike its decomposed equivalent "1/10", this character maintains consistent spacing and alignment within a line of text, making it useful in formal documents or digital typesetting. It is part of a set of common fractions that Unicode provides for backward compatibility with earlier character sets and for better legibility in professional publishing.
