U+2178 Small Roman Numeral Nine

U+2178 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2150 to U+218F Number Forms in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Letter Number and is mainly used in the Latin script. The codepoint has the numeric value 9. Its uppercase variant is Roman Numeral Nine and its titlecase variant is Roman Numeral Nine.

The glyph is a compatibility composition of the glyphs Latin Small Letter I, Latin Small Letter X. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2178 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
