The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
The denarius (Latin: [deΛΛnaΛriΚs]; pl.: dΔnΔriΔ«, Latin: [deΛΛnaΛriiΛ]) was the standard Roman silver coin from its introduction in the Second Punic War c.β211 BC to the reign of Gordian III (AD 238β244), when it was gradually replaced by the antoninianus. It continued to be minted in very small quantities, likely for ceremonial purposes, until and through the Tetrarchy (293β313).:β87β
The word dΔnΔrius is derived from the Latin dΔnΔ« "containing ten", as its value was originally of 10 assΔs. The word for "money" descends from it in Italian (denaro), Slovene (denar), Portuguese (dinheiro), and Spanish (dinero). Its name also survives in the dinar currency.
Its symbol is represented in Unicode as π (U+10196), a numeral monogram that appeared on the obverse in the Republican period, denoting the 10 asses ("X") to 1 denarius ("I") conversion rate. However it can also be represented as XΜΆ (capital letter X with combining long stroke overlay).
