I need to type some fractions and they have some maths-type brackets that are twice the height but I don't know where to find them.
Any help?

Do you mean like brackets used in a matrix? I don't think there's a value for that because it extends over two lines.

That's what I'm trying to recreate:

Yeah, I don't think you can do that unless your fractions are individual characters. The brackets take up two lines, which can't be formatted properly.
You can't just write the fractions as "she/I" for instance?

I've got the she/he/I bit in separate text boxes so that's not a problem.
What I need is the tall brackets. The normal ones are half the size and I think these ones are special characters but I can't find them

What program are you doing this in by the way (html/flash, word, etc...)?
I was thinking you could make a table with no spacing or padding and have the brackets run over three rows. Then you could put the bulk of the equation in the middle row and the fractions split across the three rows...

I'm working in inDesign, actually

There are characters for the floors of the brackets:

⌊Perhaps if you decrease the leading it will work. I can't really think of anything else...

Cheers mate, I'll give it a go
