How do I write "half" (and other fractions) in email? (not just 1/2)

Question

Answer

Well, you can do this: 
1) Hold down "Alt" key 
2) Type 0, 1, 8, 9 (while still holding Alt key) 
3) Release "Alt" key... tada~ 

Your IME must be set to ENGLISH! Not Chinese, not Japanese, not Korean but ENGLISH!! lol 


Here goes: ½... and ...¼ (0188), ¾ (0191)

Answer

If you want to use numbers, use .5 for half.  Two-and-a-half (for example) will be 2.5   ...but naturally tricky when dealing with other fractions (two-thirds, four-fifths etc).  Write out the full words if in doubt.

Alternately, you can find a "½" character in the Character Map program on your computer (if you use Windows).
