My keyboard text substitution only provides a few "real fraction symbols by default - up to the ⅞ substitute for the 7/8 fraction. How can I add many more substitution symbols for fractions - such as for 1/16, 9/32, etc.?
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)
¹/₁₆ and ⁹/₃₂ can be easily built from the character (control command spacebar) view >Math Symbols then included in your text substitutions.
>System Preferences>Keyboard>Text> do a replace/with substitution, so as you type ex. 7/32 = ⁷⁄₃₂
replace/with

You could do it on an iDevice If you can find a website where you can copy the unicode characters needed. You can copy/paste them into the "Phrase" in Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement.
I couldn't find a keyboard on the iPhone that would allow input of those superscript/subscript characters.
Edit: UniK - Unicode & navigation Keyboard extension on the App Store
http://unicodefractions.com/ lists the currently available one-glyph fractions; other fractions will have to be built from more glyphs together.

As far as I know, it requires a computer.
