There are several solidus (slash) variations. What is the intent of those, in as much there been expressed, in a mathematical context?

For example, is U+2044 intended for rational numbers, and U+2215 a long variation of U+002F, which can be used to disambiguate a/b/c/d as in a/b∕c/d = (a/b)/(c/d)? And is U+FF0F intended for non-math use?
