Roman Numeral Two

Ⅱ is the Roman numeral for two, or the second item in a sequence. Roman numerals appear in headings, volumes, clocks, and book openings. Compatibility normalization can turn Ⅱ into II.

Text symbol

What Ⅱ means

Roman numerals record amounts and order items. Their forms developed from numeral marks used by Italic peoples and Etruscans in ancient Italy; one scholarly account traces them to altered Etruscan tally marks. They appear in Roman documents and in medieval writing in Latin.

Unicode compatibility normalization can turn Ⅱ into two Latin capital I letters, II. Use Ⅱ for a single numeral glyph; II works better for plain-text search and exchange.

Will a search for II find Ⅱ?

Not always. Compatibility normalization can make them equivalent; without it, the one-character form and II are distinct strings.
