Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCMXCIV?

1994 — M(1000) + CM(900) + XC(90) + IV(4). Subtractive pairs (IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM) trip up manual readers.

Valid range?

1–3999 standard (I to MMMCMXCIX); larger needs overline notation most tools skip. Clocks and chapters live comfortably inside. Type digits for number→numeral or letters for the reverse — detection is automatic, and validity is checked by round-trip (the numeral must re-encode exactly, so IIII and VV fail).

Validation too?

Yes — malformed numerals (IIII, VV) flag with the rule violated. Four repeats max, V/L/D never repeat.

Do numerals upload anywhere?

No — conversion runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
