I just recently started using the ¼ ½
and ¾ for the basic fractions on our website and
its a lot neater than writing them out.

I did see some warning message about old Mac's not
be able to read these characters.

However less than 3% of my traffic is from Mac's, and
what is considered an old Mac these days, anyways.

Maybe somebody from the MAC side of things can shed
some light on this.

I must admit I'd never heard of those tags - might be useful one day ;)
