When to use it

A precomposed fraction for one quarter.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&frac14;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

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

const s = "\u00BC";

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.
