Will ⑽ survive being pasted?

Normalisation. No. Anything that applies NFKC — search indexes, usernames, domain names, programming identifiers — rewrites ⑽ as (10). Safe for display, not for storage.
Legacy encodings. ⑽ is Unicode-only — it has no Latin-1 equivalent, so a system stuck on an 8-bit encoding cannot represent it.
Size. 3 bytes in UTF-8. Character-limited fields — SMS, bios, some form validators — usually count bytes, not characters.

Other ten characters

Unicode names 8 characters ending in “ten”. They differ by direction, weight or decoration rather than by meaning.

Nearby in Enclosed Alphanumerics
