This reminds me of a thing I always wanted to know but were afraid to ask.
What is the intended rendering of U+2044 (FRACTION SLASH) in Unicode?
And what changes (if any) should it cause on sorrounding digits? (e.g.:
should the digits preceding the slash be superscript and the ones following
it subscript?)
I know that, because "Unicode encodes characters not glyphs", questions like
"how should be that character be displayed?" are always a problem, so I
don't necessarily want *the* answer, but I'll be happy also to receive
*some* subjective answers.
