Re: [alreq] Numerical Fractions

The oblique bar / is used in many context, e.g. fraction or report 
symbol etc., to have the same meaning as in Latin script. Mirroring it
 to \ does not seem evident.

One can find the oblique sign in :
- Notation such as speed "50 km / h"
كم / س ‎ 50
- Notation such as "Page / Volume", for example a reference to a page 
in a volume :
١٢٣/١ for volume ١, page ١٢٣
- or reference to Quran "Verse/Surah",
١٣/٩٠ for Surah 90, Verse 13
- etc.

However, writing order may vary with Arabic digits : 90/13 instead of 
the above (13/90).

A wiki page is being drafted on this topic.
