Meaning & usage

Roman numerals count with letters: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. A smaller numeral before a bigger one subtracts (IV=4, IX=9); after, it adds (VI=6, VIII=8).

Unicode gives the values 1–12 and 50/100/500/1000 their own single characters — the tiles above — while bigger numbers are written by combining letters: 14 = XIV, 40 = XL, 90 = XC, 99 = XCIX, 2026 = MMXXVI. Each single-character numeral below has its own page.

Frequently asked questions

What is 0 in Roman numerals?

There is no Roman zero — the system predates the concept. Medieval scribes sometimes wrote N (for 'nulla'), but classical Roman numerals simply have no zero.

Why do clocks show IIII instead of IV?

Many clock faces use IIII for 4 — a visual-balance tradition (IIII balances VIII opposite) that clockmakers have kept for centuries, whatever the reason it began.

How do I write 2026 in Roman numerals?

2026 = MMXXVI: MM (2000) + XX (20) + VI (6).

Why does Ⅻ sometimes show as a box or question mark?

The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+216B (Roman Numeral Twelve). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.

Is the Roman Numerals free to use?

Yes. Ⅻ is a standard Unicode text character published in the Unicode Character Database. You may use it in personal and commercial documents, designs and products without permission or payment.
