Remember
Character ⅒
Unicode U+2152
Hex entity ⅒
Decimal ⅒
CSS escape \2152
Named entity (none)
Meaning vulgar fraction one tenth (1/10)
Not the same 1/10 (four chars) · ½ (1/2) · ⅟ (numerator 1)
Prefer ⅒ or ⅒ in HTML (no named form). You can also type ⅒ in a UTF-8 document.

Built with CSS: ⅒
Typed: ⅒
Share: ⅒ of total
Math: 10 ⅒ = 1
How It Works
1. Hex:⅒ inserts code point U+2152 → ⅒.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8530 → ⅒. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \2152 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⅒.
4. Typed: paste ⅒ in a UTF-8 document when you need the vulgar fraction as one character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with fraction 1 by 10.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+2152. Use ⅒ or ⅒. Do not invent &frac110;.
1/10
Not four characters
Typing 1/10 creates four code points. ⅒ is one Number Forms character.
⅟
Not numerator + digits
⅟10 is a composed lookalike, not the dedicated one-tenth glyph. Prefer ⅒ for U+2152.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit rare vulgar fractions. If ⅒ is missing, fall back to 1/10 or a font with Number Forms coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2152 belongs in CSS strings. ⅒ / ⅒ belong in HTML.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not announce ⅒ clearly. Prefer aria-label="one tenth" or nearby prose when the fraction carries meaning.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ⅒, not ⅒.
