A word for a value between 0 and 1 (inclusive)

I would love to have a symbol that represents this unit scale as an analogue to '%'. I.e. you could say 33% or 0.33x where where 'x' indicates a normalized decimal from 0.0 to 1.0.

There was the "uno" proposal.

I'm glad it never caught on.

Interesting, although that goes the other way, indicating different degrees of implied scaling (rather than none). If you were labeling a header or axis on a chart, or naming a variable you'd probably include the word "decimal", "fraction", or "scalar".
