As per previous topic about abbreviations, I feel it would be good to give examples of how a part of an ounce is to be displayed e.g 1.5 oz should it be decimalised or fractions? 1 1/2oz? or 1.5 oz.

 

Also, just for sake of clarity we should give the example of kg e.g 1 kg next to the gram example.

Here apply the rule

Face value: fractions

Non-integer values should be included in the title as they appear on the coin: as fractions, decimal numbers, or currency subunits. For fractional values, unicode fractions (½, ¼, etc.) or the special fraction slash should be used (⁄ U+2044).

I assume the example is only with grams because is the same (just replace g by kg). The same applies to the example of mm, cm, m, km, which only has mm.
