so far the fractions I've seen are ½ and ¾ and ¼. On phones it's very easy
to input fraction in unicode(press and hold the numerical value of the
numerator: 1 for ½, ¼ or 2 for ⅔), but I agree that dealing with Bom of
UTF-8 usually ends up being messed up and is why I'm asking what the norm
for OSM is
