U+215A "⅚" Vulgar Fraction Five Sixths is a single typographic glyph representing the numerical ratio of five divided by six, used primarily to display this common fraction in a compact, precomposed form rather than as separate digits and a slash. It is part of the Number Forms block in Unicode, which includes similar vulgar fractions like ½, ⅓, and ⅔, designed for ease of use in text where a neat, traditional fraction appearance is desired, such as in recipes, measurements, or mathematical notation.
