How do I type a fraction (1/2.1/4, etc.) in correct form when using Mail? I have OS X 10.11.1.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
system preference>Keyboard

Drag from the window to the document. See non-highlighted portion of screen shot.
If you click "Copy Character Info" you will get the meta-data along with it if you paste it. See highlighted portion of screen shot:
In addition to Jimmy's great information, you can create text substitutions for all the fractions. Just use the character viewer to create text substitutions for each string 1/2 : ½ , etc.
The Text Substitutions are just one tab over, "Text" on the Keyboard system prefs.
Now, sometimes those may get in your way, so you might have to disable Text Replacement (Edit Menu, Substitutions) when you really want 1/2.
I guess it depends on whether you need the vulgar fractions more often than you need the the other.
Finally, you don't have to add the Character Viewer to the Input menu (or show the input menu at all). All the Edit menus have Emoji & Symbols right in the App.
Great! Thanks for your help.
Thank you! Great help.
