Many years ago, I updated/rewrote the "standard" Roman Numeral module to handle Unicode characters. This was an early attempt to exercise the Unicode stuff in Perl 5. As I recall, there were a few interesting things including Unicode code points specifically for roman numerals.Ⅸ for example is a single character. Also, more loops around the "CD" will further multiply: ↈ is 100,000.
