* キロ and ㌔
* and thousands more

const stringa   = '1/4';
const stringb   = '¼';

// without @orchidjs/unicode-variants
let regex       = new RegExp(stringa,'ui');
console.log(regex.test(stringa)); // true
console.log(regex.test(stringb)); // false

// with @orchidjs/unicode-variants
import {getPattern} from '@orchidjs/unicode-variants';
let pattern     = getPattern(stringa);
regex           = new RegExp(stringa,'ui');
console.log(regex.test(stringa)); // true
