When you highlight characters in a PDF and copy them you get the codes and all that it's attached to them. The problem with Roman numerals is that a "digit" has different meanings depending on the context. The "C" in "CXV" means 1, but in "CMXV" it means nothing by itself.
I'm not entirely convinced that I agree. I would argue that the "C" of "CXV" means "100", not "1"; in "CMXV" it means "subtract 100". At least, that's what we were taught at school !
