Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively and securely.

Q.Why does it stop at 3,999?

Standard Roman numerals use 'M' (1000) as the largest symbol. To represent 4,000 and above, a 'vinculum' (line over the character) is required, which is not standard in basic text converters.
