Yes but only to a limit extent such as: 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, 4/12 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12, 9/12, 11/12, 12/12 which is 1.

The symbols for these fractions respectively are:

., .., :., ::, ::., S, S., S.., S:., S::, S::. and SS which of course is I

The word for the symbol S in Latin is semis meaning a half.
