Display a 'half'

Display a \'half\'

I am sure that, some time ago, on this forum, someone described how to display 'a half' and not 1/2 on a PC keyboard. Can I have a reminder please? TIA

If you are using Word then go to Format then Autoformat then Options and tick the box for Fractions. The when you type 1/2 it comes up ½.

Click on Start, normally bottom left. "run" then type in charmap and enter to run. Pick whatever character you need

Several other usefull ones there: ¼ ½ ¾ ° ² ³ µ unfortunately you cannot do pi or omega although one forum member has got an omega for his signature. Dont know how he has done that.
