ℹ️ About

The Percent Sign (%) is a typographical symbol used to indicate a percentage, number, or ratio as a fraction of 100. In computing, it serves a dual purpose: it is the standard modulo operator in languages like C, Python, and Java, and functions as the percent-encoding trigger in URLs (where %25 represents the sign itself).

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ٪ (Arabic Percent Sign U+066A) or (Per Mille Sign U+2030).
