  3. One half - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

    The "one-half" symbol has its own code point as a precomposed character in the Latin-1 Supplement block of Unicode, rendering as ½.. The reduced size of this symbol may make it illegible to readers with relatively mild visual impairment; consequently the decomposed forms 12 or ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ may be more appropriate.

    This form of fraction remained in use for centuries. [27] [30] Positional decimal fractions appear for the first time in a book by the Arab mathematician Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi written in the 10th century. [31] The Jewish mathematician Immanuel Bonfils used decimal fractions around 1350 but did not develop any notation to represent them. [32]
