Circled Sans-Serif Digit One (➀) is the Unicode character at U+2780 in the Dingbats block. It looks like a digit 1 inside a circle and is common for step markers and decorative numbering.
Remember
Character ➀
Unicode U+2780
Hex entity ➀
Decimal ➀
CSS escape \2780
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ➀. Prefer the Unicode character (or its entities) when you need that exact circled look; type plain 1 when you only need a normal digit.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2780 → ➀ in HTML. The browser turns it into ➀.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10112 → ➀. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2780 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➀ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ➀: fine in UTF-8 pages. All four lines show the same dingbat digit.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Circled Sans-Serif Digit One entities.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define &circled1; or similar. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2780 belongs in CSS. ➀ / ➀ belong in HTML.
➀ vs 1
Different characters
➀ is U+2780; digit 1 is U+0031. Do not treat them as the same.
Fonts
Check the glyph
Dingbat support varies by font. If ➀ is missing, use a fallback font or CSS badge instead.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ➀, not ➀.

❶ (negative circled) is a different Unicode character — not the same as ➀.
