What Is the Roman Numeral Ten Thousand Entity?

Roman Numeral Ten Thousand (ↂ) is the Unicode character at U+2182 in the Number Forms block. It is the dedicated glyph for 10,000 in roman numeral notation.

Remember
Character     ↂ
Unicode       U+2182
Hex entity    ↂ
Decimal       ↂ
CSS escape    \2182
Named entity  (none)

All of these produce the same glyph: ↂ. Prefer this character when you need the Number Forms ten-thousand glyph; use Arabic 10000 or spelled-out text for everyday content.

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2182 → &#x2182; in HTML. The browser turns it into ↂ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8578 → &#8578;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2182 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ↂ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed ↂ: fine in UTF-8 pages. All four lines show the same glyph.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Roman Numeral Ten Thousand entities.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define &romanX; or similar. Use numeric forms.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2182 belongs in CSS. &#x2182; / &#8578; belong in HTML.

ↂ vs Ⅿ

Different characters

ↂ is U+2182 (10,000). Roman Ⅿ is U+216F (1,000). Do not confuse them.

Fonts

Check the glyph

Number Forms support varies by font. If ↂ is missing, fall back to 10000 or another font.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#8578;, not &#8578.

Clarity

Prefer Arabic for UI

For buttons, forms, and everyday UI copy, 10000 is usually clearer than ↂ.

Browser Support

Roman Numeral Ten Thousand (U+2182) and its numeric entity forms (&#x2182;, &#8578;, CSS \\2182) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph shape depends on the font.

✓ Universal support
