    I'm referencing to a book entitled: Памятники Музея Ізящныхъ Іскусствъ імені ІмператораАлександра III въ Москве.

    I see that the the roman ordinal "third" can be encoded in a couple of
    different ways:

    - U+0049 U+0049 U+0049
    - U+0406 U+0406 U+0406 (considering that this old russian orthography)
    - U+2162
    - U+2160 U+2160 U+2160

    What do you say about this, and about roman numerals in non-latin text
    in general? Is the U+2160 - U+217F of any use after all?
