The division symbol is missing

I remember having a divide symbol on my iPads virtual keyboard, but this morning I noticed It was missing. This is really annoying especially when school is now online. Someone please help!

iPad, iPadOS 14

First workaround:


Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards


Add Japanese – Kana keyboard.

Open your application and select the Japanese keyboard. On the left side choose *123. The ÷ is found on the second character of the second row.


Second workaround:


Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement


Tap the plus sign and paste the ÷ sign in the Phrase field and choose a shortcut in the Shortcut filed. Now, every time you type your shortcut followed by a space the ÷ sign will appear.
