Per Sign ⅌
Symbol Meaning
The symbol “Per” represents division or ratio in mathematics and physics. Such a division sign tends to express relationships or proportions, such as speed (kilometers per hour), density (kilograms per cubic meter), or other measures and units of measurement.
Such extraordinary icons ⅌ are rarely encountered in modern printed texts. It used to be put instead of the English preposition “per”. For example, in phrases like “miles ⅌ hour“.
Modern users would rather see it as a cool spiral or decoration which is to be used accordingly. Take this symbol and paste it in your nicknames, decorative patterns, frames and other text elements which require special highlighting.
