The shape of CV
- Written out, CV runs 2 characters, against 3 for 104 (CIV) and 3 for 106 (CVI).
- No part of CV is subtractive: each glyph adds to the running total, so the numeral reads straight through from left to right.
- Every number from 100 to 199 opens with C, so it is the V after C that marks 105 out as 5 past 100.
- CV uses 2 different symbols and repeats none of them: one appearance each.
