When to use it

Division in arithmetic. In code and spreadsheets use the slash /.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&divide;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\00F7"; }

const s = "\u00F7";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.

How to type division sign

  • Windows: hold Alt and type 0247 on the numeric keypad.
