I need a site (or even better an answer) what is the ASCII code (or
equivalent) for 1/8, 3/8, etc. I found some fractions (1/2, 1/4...)
but I can't find these... I KNOW THEY EXIST!! And I KNOW you, my dear
friends, know the answer!!!! :o)

The sooner I find an answer the better... :o)

Thanks, everyone!

I can get you this far:   ¹/
 
then you can change the font the smallest size and put in the 8....but I haven't found a way to get you higher than ³/ of anything....but still looking

find it I'll let you know... :o)

Unless you can try using &frac  - then it doesn't look like it exists :o\ 
 
&frac12 = ½ and &frac14 = ¼ and &frac34 = ¾  so maybe &frac18 = 1/8? 
 
but I've looked at dozens of charts and they're all the same as far as the &# numbers go (which are the same as using the alt key + the numbers)   - and all the available numbers seem to be assigned.  Here's the list everyone seems to reference:  http://www.lookuptables.com/
 
There's also this page:  http://www.asciitable.com/  and that doesn't list the 3/4 one (but has 2 fun things to do if you're bored) ;o)

I did find these:

⅛ ⅜ ⅞ ⅝  In the Verdana character map.

The code is U+215B, C, D or E

But I can only copy and paste from the map - I can't work it using just the keyboard.

MWA! See I knew we shouldn't give up quite so easily-- (of course I
haven't sat at a computer all weekend, so I haven't looked... ) I'll
try these and see what we get...
