small roman numeral six

Small Roman numeral six

38/60

The symbol marks six in lowercase Roman numerals. It most often numbers a book’s front matter—the pages before the main text—and can label chapters or sections too. It is one character, though fonts can draw it differently.

Text symbol

What ⅵ means

It writes six in the lowercase Roman style.

That style grew from minuscule, the small-letter handwriting used in Latin manuscripts, and later entered print.

Books may number front matter—the pages before the main text, such as a contents list or preface—with lowercase Roman numerals, then start at 1 for the main text.

Formal and bookish; a familiar fit for editorial numbering.

For plain-text clarity, use “vi” or “6.”
