Per mil should not be confused with parts per million ( ppm ). The sign is written ‰, which looks like a percent sign ( % ) with an extra zero in the divisor. It is included in the General Punctuation block of Unicode characters : U + 2030 ‰ PER MILLE SIGN ( HTML & # 8240 ; &permil ; ). It is accessible in Windows using ALT + 0137. The term occurs so rarely in English that major dictionaries do not agree on the spelling or pronunciation even within a single dialect of English and some major dictionaries such as Macmillan and Longman do not even contain an entry. The term is more common in other European languages where it is used in contexts, such as blood alcohol content, that are usually expressed as a percentage in English - speaking countries. Examples A railroad distance and gradient sign in the Czech Republic. The 20 ‰ grade is equivalent to 2 %. Examples of common use include : Legal limits of blood - alcohol content for driving a road vehicle in some countries : for example : 0.6 ‰ or 0.2 ‰. Seawater salinity : for example : `` the average salinity is 35 ‰ ''. Tunnel and railway gradients ( in some countries in Europe ) Birth and death rates Baseball batting averages ( colloquially ) Property taxation rates : the millage rate ( U.S. ) or mill rate ( Canada ) Expressing stable - isotope ratios - for example : `` δ C was measured at − 3.5 ‰ '' Expressing costs for print and online advertisements which are commonly sold at cost per mille ( CPM ) ; this is the common unit for all banner and display advertising Frequently used by email service providers to denominate the cost for 1,000 emails delivered as a cost per mille ( CPM ) Related units Percentage point Percent ( % ) 1 part in 100 Basis point ( ‱ ) 1 part in 10,000 Parts - per notation Silver fineness ( given as `` 0.000 - fine '' ) References ^ Jump up to : Cambridge Dictionary Online. `` per mille ''.
