      My question concerns using the character map's shortcuts so as not to have to cut/paste a symbol. When I want to use 3/4, I can use the alternate key plus 0190 using the numerical pad on the right) and I get ¾. If I want to make a cents sign, I use alt155 ¢ The keystroke command comes up in the lower right corner of the character map.
       Problem: If I want to make 1/3, this command comes to the left corner "U+2153: Vulgar fraction one third
    I do not know how to utilize this command to get the 1/3 to show in one space only ½ like this.
       I am not very computer literate so this may not be a possible function or I am simply not doing the right thing.
       Can anyone help me?
