万 is a compact kanji with a big meaning — it represents “ten thousand,” a core block in East Asian number systems. It’s commonly used when talking about currency, population, or anything measured in large units.

The character is often seen in compound words that imply totality or magnitude — from money (万円) to expressions of celebration (万歳).

一万いちまん円えんあります。
I have ten thousand yen.

万まん人にんの前まえで話はなすのは緊張きんちょうします。
Speaking in front of everyone makes me nervous.
