Technical: Unicode will be hard to manipulate by hand without a table of 
characters/symbols to copy from. Subsequent editors or users down the chain 
of tools will break it. Most prominently, search may break, because users 
will not know how to input 1/2. (Oh look, I just didn't, either...).

Is it common to have more complicated fractions? Here we append letters to 
do the same, and I have seen places where they had to go all the way to "h" 
- which would be 1/8 for you? Or 8/8? Does unicode even have 8/8? I haven't 
been able to find a decisive answer.

How should this be tagged in housenumber? Using unicode ( ½ ) or ASCII( 1/2 
)?
