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.

The symbol “Per Sign” is included in the “Additional letterlike symbols” subblock of the “Letterlike Symbols” block and was approved as part of Unicode version 4.1 in 2005.
