Unicode intended that diagonal fractions be rendered by a different mechanism: the fraction slash U+2044 is visually similar to the solidus, but when used with the ordinary digits (not the superscripts and subscripts), it instructs the layout system that a fraction such as ¾ is to be rendered using automatic glyph substitution.
Unicode has a free-standing underscore _ at U+005F, inherited from ASCII, which is a legacy of the typewriter practice of underlining using backspace and overtype. Modern practice uses the combining diacritic U+0332 ̲ COMBINING LOW LINE that results in an underline when run together: u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲.

A numeric character reference uses the ...
In version 13.0, Unicode was extended with another block containing many graphics characters, Symbols for Legacy Computing, which includes a few box-drawing characters and other symbols used by obsolete operating systems (mostly from the 1980s).
The Unicode characters are thus: U+00AA ª FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR (ª) U+00BA º MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR (º) There are superscript versions of the letters a and o in Unicode; these are different characters and should not be used as ordinal indicators.
The ligature has a code point in Unicode as a precomposed character, U+2116 № NUMERO SIGN. [ 3 ] The Oxford English Dictionary derives the numero sign from Latin numero , the ablative form of numerus ("number", with the ablative denotations of "by the number, with the number").
