Unicode 2044, bug on Firefox/Chrome?

Take a look at the following image:

The numbers 789 are smaller than the others. That's because I inserted a slash using the Unicode 2044 through the CSS pseudo-element :before → content: "\2044".

It seems the Unicode 2044 is used to write more complex fractions than ½, ⅔, ⅖, etc. But it is not working on Google Chrome. So, is there a bug on Firefox/Chrome?

Which is the expected behavior for this Unicode?

Either rendering is acceptable. From Section 6.2 of the Unicode Standard:

Such a fraction should be displayed as a unit, such as ¾ [or split]. The precise choice of display can depend on additional formatting information.

If the displaying software is incapable of mapping the fraction to a unit, then it can also be displayed as a simple linear sequence as a fallback (for example, 3/4).

In general, cased and split fraction rendering support for U+2044 is quite rare.
