Vulgar Fraction Zero Thirds is a number-form character — either a Roman numeral or a fraction glyph — used in formal numbering (chapter headings, clock faces, outlines) or in typesetting fractions without needing a fraction bar layout.
Unicode block: Number Forms (U+2150–U+218F). This block includes Roman numerals and vulgar (spelled-out) fractions as their own distinct Unicode characters, separate from the regular digits used to build ordinary numbers.
At Unicode code point U+2189 (decimal 8585), Vulgar Fraction Zero Thirds is the 58th of 60 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol.
