Wierd text when using dollar sign
That happens because mathJax is enabled on this site, It uses the dollar sign by default.

Missing search hit for "circled r"
Short answer: Because the site's built-in search sucks.
Longer answer: Stack Exchange sites are Q&A platforms, not search engines. The built-in search is kind of a best-effort thing: Sometimes it'...

Why does my review icon say 12 when there are no posts to review?
I agree it is confusing, I have the same.
My guess is that the 10 reviews are due to the site self evaluation. You have already done them, but the questions are still open to review by others.

Why do I only have 1 gold badge?
Because the second one has only 9,945, 55 short of the 10,000 needed.
Your profile shows "10k" because the numbers there are rounded, not truncated.

Why does my review icon say 12 when there are no posts to review?
+3 years on and it's still there :(
