U+2153 is a hex number. The decimal value of it can be found at
http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=2153
it is 8531
so the alt-code should be <alt 8531>
In my wordpad <alt 8531> indeed gives ⅓
Somehow in my Outlook Express it does not however :-(

Subject: character map in Microsoft Word
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?
Jean
