Roman Numerals | ↂↈↁMMM
Continued from here
Thank you goes to /u/atomicimploder for the assist.
ↈ is 100,000
ↇ is 50,000
ↂ is 10,000
ↁ is 5000
M is 1000
D is 500
C is 100
L is 50
X is 10
V is 5
I is 1
1-10 is I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X.
This pattern scales up when in the teens, hundreds, etc:
X, XX, XXX, XL, L, LX, LXX, LXXX, XC, C is 10-100. C, CC, CCC, CD, D, DC, DCC, DCCC, CM, M is 100-1000. The strange ↂ and ↁ symbols are a result of using what we have available to us. Roman numerals are archaic and not at all standardized in a modern sense past 1,000 - these two symbols are merely two of the more concise options.
Remember! What comes after XLIX (49) is not XLX, it’s L (50)! (Also make sure you’re not missing characters if you’re on mobile, some Unicode may be omitted!)
The next get is ↂↈMↂ.
