The '''percent sign''' {{char|%}} (sometimes '''per cent sign''' in [[British English]]) is the symbol used to indicate a [[percentage]], a number or [[ratio]] as a [[fraction (mathematics)|fraction]] of 100. Related signs include the [[permille]] (per thousand) sign {{char|‰}} and the [[Basis point#Permyriad|permyriad]] (per ten thousand) sign {{char|‱}} (also known as a [[basis point]]), which indicate that a number is divided by one thousand or ten thousand, respectively. Higher proportions use [[parts-per notation]].
