I have tried viewing your message using all possible character sets
that my newsreader (xananews) supports, and I still see a question
mark, not a fraction.
Perhaps you should look up the unicode for your fractional number, and
use that. All I can find in plain old Arial is fractional numbers 1/4,
1/2 and 3/4.

This may be a related problem?
