I would disagree about the preference for ratio; I think it is a historical accident in Unicode.
What people use and have used for ratio is simply a colon. One writes 3:5, and I doubt that there was a well-established visual difference that demanded a separate code for it, so someone would need to write 3∶5 instead.
