How did you do it in your question you posted?

Hmm, I took a quick look and thought it was on one of the fonts, but following

Use the Keyboard Viewer on Mac

On your Mac, use the Keyboard Viewer to see where characters in another language are located on your keyboard.

and

did not allow me to find it. I thought some font had it, but I did not find the particular font in a quick perusal within the app "Font Book". I have a vague recollection that one could type such fractions in some word processors.

Please post the solution if you find it....

For which app do you want this to change? For example, in Pages it can be changed in the Preferences > AutoCorrect > Automatically Format Fractions.

Format fractions automatically in Pages on Mac

In Pages on Mac, set fractions to format automatically as you type.

You already have one solution. I guess you used a copy-&-paste for that fraction from somewhere.

 

[MacorNothing]

No, a friend copy/past with his iPhone.
I would to try on my iPhone, but don't suggest. So I'm lost

It depends on keyboard layout.
On any keyboard layout however, you can invoke the character picker to select it. Hit ctrl+cmd+space. They're named so you can search for them like so

For a more general solution one would need to use something like a LeaTeX formatting engine where you can just go \frac{firstNumber}{secondNumber} since there of course are not hardwired fractions in the character picker for every possible number

I don't get your point?

That vulgar fraction should have an NSFW warning 😆

I have a text replacement setup for 2/3 to change to ⅔ but, of course, it doesn't work everywhere.

How did you enable this set of characters? Evoking the character picker on my iOS devices does not offer the same results.

In keyboard settings ? Like the replacement of "omw" by "On my way!" ?

I didn't enable anything. This is just how that menu has always been for me ¯\_o_/¯
If it makes you feel better about the mystery, the same search brings up nothing on my iPad running iPadOS 15. So either the search is weaker on iOS/iPadOS or they just don't have all the characters in the character picker

Thank you. I'll do a little more research. I'd love to have that panel of options available.

I've also done the text replacement approach, via Keyboard/Text. 1/2 becomes ½, and 1/4 becomes ¼ almost everywhere automatically.

 

[casperes1996]

I usually just do these when I write though
Flexible since you can do any number easily

But it's a picture, isn't it ?

Not a picture. It's a character, from the Emoji & Symbol viewer in macOS.

<= I see that as a picture

I tried it too, here is what I have when I copy-paste it somewhere else like this forum :

 

[DeltaMac]

Yes, the screenshot from that post #16 is definitely a graphic.
However, if you copy the fraction that you find in the Emoji menu, pasting that will give you the fraction that you want.
Technically a character, not what I would refer to as a picture - although you could call it a picture, if you like.
But, it's a character that you can use in an equation, and should give correct results when you use it for that. I don't think a picture (a graphic of some kind) could be used as a factor in an equation. A fraction from the emoji viewer, pasted into an equation, should work correctly.
Is there something about your post that I am missing?

That one specifically is a picture. When you write out the equation in Pages it renders a picture version of it to insert in the document which is what I did here. If you use another LaTeX engine it might draw it as a unicode symbol. Actually, one sec.

It's a unicode character in the PDF here.
Unfortunately, trying to copy-paste to MacRumors just gives
Fraction: 92 999
- I don't think Preview copies the 0-width Unicode encoding there.

If you use the characters from the character picker it'll work anywhere (that supports unicode and not just ASCII), which is their advantage. My post was more just about A) Preferring the on-top-of-each other look to the slash, and that I mostly write things were I can use LaTeX anyway. - This can also represent any fraction, not just the set available in the character picker, and the character picker can't do the fractions with the horizontal line, only the slashed ones (to my knowledge at least)

 

[ecatomb]

OK, so can only use as character, in every app, the one from emoji picker.

Yeah, essentially

You can use it to add basically any mathematical expression or equation using late commands or mathml.
