Font with circled digits 11 up?

[Paul Moloney]

The font Wingdings comes up with circled digits (both in black and
white) for 0 to 10. I've like to use this font to add callouts to code
listings, but need to go to 11 and above.

Does anyone know if there's an existing font which allows this, with
either a single character for each number from 11 up, or else digits
in semi-circles which can be combined to form 2-digit numbers?

Thanks,

P.

There are such fonts, yes. Google may be the best way to find them.

If you have any large Unicode font installed, they have circled numbers up
to 20.
Try to type 246A followed by Alt+X... If some suitable font is found, it'll
be applied automatically.
Serif fonts that are often present are "MS Gothic" and "MS Mincho", a
non-serif font "Arial Unicode MS".

Watch out for Arial Unicode -- it is a problematic font. Even Microsoft says
to use it only in an emergency.

Any suggestions as to why, Tim?

There is a MS knowledgebase article on it. At a customer's office they try
to remove it from systems when they can; it has a way of trying to download
itself -- and it's huge -- during print jobs, and hanging up the printers.

Interesting. I have occasionally used specific characters from it without
incident, I think.
