[[File:OldvNewMJ3.jpg|thumb|Old tiles used the cursive character "万".]]
The ''character (myriad, number, crack) suit'' ({{cjkv|c=萬子/万子|p=wànzi|cj=maan<sup>6</sup>zi<sup>2</sup>|j=萬子|r=wanzu/manzu|l=myriad|labels=no}}) is represented by Chinese characters.

The rank of the tile is represented at the top, in blue, with [[Chinese numerals]], while the character below (萬 ''wàn'', meaning [[myriad]]) is in red. Older sets used the [[Cursive script (East Asia)|cursive character]] 万 when tiles were still hand-carved. Fujianese sets use 品 (''pǐn'', rank). Most sets use the character 伍 ([[Image:MJw5-.svg|25px|5 Character]]) for five instead of 五 ([[Image:MJw5v1-.svg|25px|5 Character]]).

From the monetary origin of this suit, the myriads (10,000) are actually 100 strings of coins described in the bamboo suit section above.  One myriad equals ten thousand coins or 100 strings of 100 coins. (1萬=100索×100銅)
