It seems to me that the character name provides sufficient documentation of the numerator and denominator


 Or is that written down somewhere already?

is not written as

given that there is also a

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.
