  I am successfully able to use the symbol ½ in my posts, but when I try to use ⅓ it fails.

  I type
  & f r a c 1 3 ;
  and when I save the draft, wordpress changes it to
  & a m p ; f r a c 1 3 ;
  which of course then does’t work! Why is it doing this and how do I make it stop?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  I use this example to show fractions in html:

  <sup>1</sup>⁄<sub>2</sub>

  Regards.

  Thank, I worked around it, but I would like to see it fixed since the method I used is valid HTML and the editor is incorrect in the way it messes with it.
