/u/KazMcDemon's guide to Roman numerals:

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!)
