0x216E

0x216E refers to the hexadecimal encoding of the Unicode code point U+216E, which is named ROMAN NUMERAL FIFTEEN. This code point is part of the Unicode Number Forms block (range U+2160 to U+216F) and is used to render the number fifteen as a single character in contexts that require a stylized Roman numeral representation rather than the two-letter sequence XV.

As a Unicode symbol, ROMAN NUMERAL FIFTEEN represents the value 15 and is intended for use in sets of Roman numeral characters. While cultural and typographic conventions may present Roman numerals as combinations such as XV in regular text, U+216E provides a dedicated single-character glyph for environments that favor a single-symbol representation. The actual appearance of the glyph depends on the font and rendering system in use; some fonts may render it similarly to other single-character Roman numeral symbols, while others may style it as a distinct typographic character.

Technically, 0x216E is the hexadecimal form of the code point, and in decimal terms it corresponds to 8558. In practice, developers and typographers may reference either the hex value or the Unicode name when encoding or discussing this character. It is commonly used in specialized documents, scholarly works, or stylistic settings where a single-character Roman numeral is preferred for aesthetic or layout reasons.
