How to type 1/2

[dave307]

Good morning to all.
Looking for some assistance on typing 1/2 or 3/4.
I have been given a diabetic daily record medical info as I have had diabetes for some time so the medical team want me to keep a record of my weight on a weekly basis. I did have a choice either use pen and paper or do it on iPhone or iPad so I thought I'd have a go digitally.The only thing is how would I type for example 11stone 1/2 lbs is there another option to enter the 3/4 or the 1/2.
Any help on this Please if all fails I can always fall back to the pen and paper method.
Many Thanks to all.

Merry xmas.

You can copy and paste a selection of fractions into the keyboard shortcuts section, so that you can type ¼ ½ or ¾ for instance.

That was a prompt reply. So I could copy the items from your posting into the keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks have a lovely Christmas.Have a drink on me.

I have ½ in my SwiftKey clipboard. If I want others, I use text replacement or the KuaiBoard keyboard. Sometimes text replacement (Shortcuts) doesn't work well for fractions.

.25, .5, .75 work for me

⅔, ⅝, ⅖?

⅔, ⅝, ⅖?

.6666667, .625, .4.
But not many people talk of their weight in those terms

I used to have Prokeyboard on my iPad, which included maths symbols, but I am not sure if it will work on an iPhone.
