circled number eleven

Circled Number Eleven

11/159

⑪ is the number 11 inside a circle: a ready-made label for the eleventh item in a list, step, diagram callout or note. It counts as plain 11, the circle only sets it apart. It is a familiar list-numbering style in Japanese and Korean text.

Text symbol

What ⑪ means

It labels the eleventh item, step or point.

You can meet circled numbers in instructions, recipes, exam papers, diagrams with numbered parts and notes that refer back to “point ⑪”. In Japan and Korea they are one of the usual ways to number items in a document; elsewhere they show up as list markers and as callouts in manuals and diagrams.

Why is it a separate character at all?

Because older East Asian character sets already had it.

Japanese and Korean computer character sets included circled numbers ① to ⑳, and Unicode took them over from its earliest versions so old text could be converted. That is why the series in this block stops at ⑳. In Japan, circled numbers are still called “machine-dependent characters”: most fonts show them today, but some official forms and older systems reject or garble them, so government agencies advise avoiding them there.

Questions people ask

2

Why does ⑪ show as a box?

Your font lacks it. The character is still in the text; switch to a font with enclosed numbers and it appears.

Can Word number a list with ⑪ automatically?

Not reliably. Automatic list numbering uses its own styles; for circled labels people usually type each character by hand.
