Meaning & usage
Two thirds (⅔) represents a compact fractional value.
Use the single Unicode glyph in recipes, measurements and short labels; a slash-based fraction is easier to edit in plain text.
Two thirds is encoded as U+2154 rather than separate numerator and denominator digits. Use the decimal or hexadecimal HTML reference above when preserving this exact compact fraction in a web document.
two thirds occupies one Unicode code point. A similar-looking letter, punctuation mark or emoji is not necessarily interchangeable with ⅔ in search, filenames or text processing.
How to type two thirds
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (2154) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.
- Mac
- Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for two thirds. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.
- Linux
- In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter 2154, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for two thirds in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
