Is there an unicode symbol for "n/a"? There are some fractions like ½, but a n/a symbol seems to be missing.
If there is none, what would be the most appropriate unicode symbol to use for n/a in a website (which should be contained in common fonts, to avoid needing a webfont)?
Unicode covers all the characters for all the writing systems of the world, modern and ancient. It also includes technical symbols, punctuations, and many other characters used in writing text.
Inserting Unicode characters To insert a Unicode character, type the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then press X. For more Unicode character codes, see Unicode character code charts by script.
N/A or sometimes n/a is a common abbreviation in tables and lists for the phrase not applicable, not available, not assessed, or no answer.
Unicode Character “A” (U+0041)
Looking at the Unicode code charts, I do not see a single N/A
symbol. I do, however, see ⁿ
(U+207F) and ₐ
(U+2090), which you could separate with /
(U+002F) eg: ⁿ/ₐ
, or ̷
(U+0337), eg: ⁿ̷ₐ
, or ̸
(U+0338), eg: ⁿ̸ₐ
. Probably not what you are hoping for, though. And I don't know if "common" fonts implement them, either.
