Circled Sans-Serif Digit Ten (➉) is the Unicode character at U+2789 in the Dingbats block. It looks like the number 10 inside a circle and is common for step markers and decorative numbering.
Remember
Character ➉
Unicode U+2789
Hex entity ➉
Decimal ➉
CSS escape \2789
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ➉. Prefer the Unicode character (or its entities) when you need that exact circled look; type plain 10 when you only need a normal number.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2789 → ➉ in HTML. The browser turns it into ➉.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10121 → ➉. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2789 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➉ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ➉: fine in UTF-8 pages. All four lines show the same dingbat digit.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Circled Sans-Serif Digit Ten entities.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define &circled10; or similar. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2789 belongs in CSS. ➉ / ➉ belong in HTML.
➉ vs 10
One character vs two
➉ is a single dingbat (U+2789). Typing 10 is two ASCII digits.
Fonts
Check the glyph
Dingbat support varies by font. If ➉ is missing, use a fallback font or CSS badge instead.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ➉, not ➉.

Negative circled
❿ (negative circled ten) is a different Unicode character — not the same as ➉.
