What ⅳ means
It stands for four in lowercase Roman numerals.
Roman numerals began in ancient Rome. Lowercase forms developed in the Middle Ages and later numbered a book’s opening pages, such as a preface or contents; main text used Arabic numerals.
Unicode recommends the two letters “iv” for most text; this encoded numeral can stay upright in vertical layouts.
