There's no such thing as Roman Numeral specific characters in any font. You simply use a font that looks good. Anything with serifs is better so an I looks like an I rather than a 1, or l (lower case L). Times New Roman works.
Or, for a fancier look, use a font that has a chiseled design. Some examples.

They can be typed either by entering Shift and then the regular letter, or choosing Emoji & Symbols from the Edit menu, searching for Roman, and selecting them.

Well, whadayaknow?
Before posting my initial response, I looked through over a hundred of the fonts I've purchased over the years, and none of them have Roman numerals in them. Not even those in Adobe's Font Folio 11 OpenType fonts.
But, the OS installed fonts do. I was able to use the Unicode numerical input numbers on all of those I tried. Some look nicer than others, but they are there.
Thank you for the extra input, Tom. That probably explains why I couldn't find these glyphs in any third party fonts I looked through.
It still astounds me how much you know about languages and keyboard input.
The Roman numerals are in Unicode mainly for compatibility with vertical Chinese/Japanese text, best not to use them elsewhere.
