Circled Number Ten

10/159

⑩ is the number 10 drawn inside a circle, typed as one character. It marks item or step 10 in a list, a footnote, a map or a diagram, and it is a familiar sight in Japanese, Chinese and Korean documents. It belongs to the circled number series ① to ⑳.

Text symbol

What ⑩ means

It labels the tenth item, step or point.

Circled numbers work like tidy labels: steps in instructions, points marked on a map, photo or chart, or a reference to a note. Because the circle sets the number apart from the surrounding text, ⑩ usually reads as a label rather than a quantity, though context decides. In Japanese, Chinese and Korean writing they are a familiar numbering style; in Western texts they turn up in diagrams, puzzles and hand-styled notes.

It is plain text, not a picture: your font draws the ring, so ⑩ looks slightly different from device to device, and a font without it shows an empty box. In a word processor it is a fixed character, not part of automatic list numbering.

Worth knowing

  • In older Japanese computing, circled numbers were “machine-dependent characters”: each maker encoded them its own way, so they could turn into gibberish when an email or file moved to another system. Unicode has since standardized them.

Questions people ask

2

Is ⑩ an emoji?

No. It is a text character, so it takes your font's colour and style rather than a coloured emoji picture.

Does a circled number mean a score or rating?

Usually not. It is mostly a label for a position or step, read as “number 10” in a sequence, but context decides and it can simply stand for 10.
