CategoryRoman numerals
DescriptionThe Unicode character "Ⅲ", or U+2162, is known as the "Roman Numeral Three". It falls under the "Number Forms" block and is categorized under the "Letter, Other" category in the Unicode standard. This character represents the number three in the Roman numeral system, which was developed in ancient Rome and is still occasionally used today for certain purposes, such as enumerating points in an outline, numbering the preliminary pages of a book, or indicating the hour on a clock face. The Roman Numeral Three is typically written as a sequence of three I characters, i.e., "III". However, the Unicode standard includes separate characters for the common Roman numerals for more efficient text representation and to accommodate the typographic tradition of using specific forms of letters in the Roman numerals.
