U+2188 "ↈ" Roman Numeral One Hundred Thousand Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ↈ
U+2188 "ↈ" Roman Numeral One Hundred Thousand is a rarely used symbol from the Roman numeral system representing the value of 100,000, formed by enclosing a standard "C" (the Roman numeral for one hundred) within additional framing marks to indicate multiplication by one thousand. It belongs to the Number Forms block of Unicode, where it serves as a historical and mathematical notation rather than a common contemporary symbol. This character, along with other extended Roman numerals like ↂ (ten thousand) and ↁ (five thousand), was standardized to support archaic and academic texts where such large numerals appear, ensuring digital preservation of ancient inscriptions, clock faces, and scholarly references.
