True Unicode Roman Numerals vs Standard Letters
While many people type Roman numerals using standard Latin letters (such as capital "I", "V", and "X"), the Unicode Consortium provides dedicated single-character glyphs in the Number Forms block (U+2150–U+218F). For instance, Ⅲ (U+2162) is a single, perfectly spaced character rather than three separate capital "I"s.
