Double Circled Number Ten

Double Circled Number Ten at U+24FE is a precomposed enclosed numeral that represents the number 10 inside a double circle. It belongs to the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, a set of ready-made circled and parenthesized letters and numbers used when the enclosure is part of the symbol rather than ordinary punctuation. Its main use is in numbered lists, labels, and diagrams where item ten needs the same compact visual style as other enclosed numbers. It can appear in forms, educational materials, manuals, maps, game components, or interface mockups as a marker for a tenth step, choice, station, or callout. Because it is specifically “double circled,” it is more specialized than the ordinary circled ten and may be used to mark a secondary category, highlighted item, or alternate numbering series. Font coverage is less consistent than for plain digits or common circled numbers, so documents that rely on it may substitute a fallback symbol or show a missing-glyph box in limited fonts.
