Number Forms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Number Forms are special symbols or characters, like any regular alpha-numeric or symbol characters, but they have very specific numerical values assigned to them, and they are commonly used in many different tradition, writings, publication, etc.

The Latin capital letter V has value equal to five (5) and also called Roman Numeral Five, or, Roman Number Five. The symbol inside the next bracket (ↁ) (Roman Numeral Five Thousand) is equivalent to 5000. Symbol ⅛ is often used in wood works measurements.
