There's a bigger issue here about what characters should be accepted in numeric literals. The Unicode minus sign (U+2212) "−" is also not currently accepted for Fractions or any other built-in numeric type.

> but there are other similar slashes such as (0x2044) in which it throws an error

Do you have a proposal for the set of slashes that should be accepted, or a non-arbitrary rule for determining that set?  U+2044 (FRACTION SLASH), U+2215 (DIVISION SLASH) and U+FF0F (FULLWIDTH SOLIDUS) all seem like potential candidates. Are there others?
