The truly straight Unicode approach in HTML is to use 19⁄45. Just entering those 5 characters into a text entry box in Firefox gave me a properly formatted vulgar fraction. That is how vulgar fractions are supposed to work. Unfortunately, one may need to avoid 'exciting new fonts' in favour of those with a large, working repertoire.
Just for the record: The vulgar fraction display also happened in Thunderbird (on Windows). Firefox and Thunderbird use the same display engine. I have switched HTML display off, because I prefer to read all my mail in plain text, but it still worked.
