Meaning & usage
Roman numeral VIII is the number 8. It is built by adding I's around the anchors V (5) and X (10): numerals after an anchor add on, as in VIII.
Unicode gives VIII its own single character (Ⅷ), so it pastes as one glyph instead of separate letters — ideal for chapter headings, outlines, clock faces and lists. See the Roman numerals hub page for the full chart to 100.
