You are unlikely to find the word "myriad" meaning specifically 10,000
outside of translated Classical Greek or Latin literature, or in old
military history contexts.

I cannot tell about how the _standalone_ word "myriad" is used there
but in Greece it's still ubiquitously used as part of the Greek word
for "million" (εκατομμύριο = "a hundred myriads") in the contemporary
Greek language.

I think the entity '10000' is still used in some countries in Asia,
of course with their own (non-western) typography.
