Unless there is a value in documenting the value of the numerator and denominator, in which case this should be prominently explained in the documentation. Or is that written down somewhere already?

In the 8.0 Beta files, some numerical values are not reduced to their lowest forms. Is there a compelling reason that

is not written as

109FB;MEROITIC CURSIVE FRACTION SIX TWELFTHS;No;0;R;;;;1/2;N;;;;;

given that there is also a

109BD;MEROITIC CURSIVE FRACTION ONE HALF;No;0;R;;;;1/2;N;;;;;

Aren't the numeric values of U+109FB and U+109BD the same?

Existing software that looks at the numeric values of characters is written expecting that rational numbers will have been reduced to their lowest form.
