How do I type circled numbers in Pages?

Walter,

You can roll your own. Type any single digit. Next, in the Emoji's & Symbols (character) palette, search for the word circle. From the results of that search, there will be a larger open circle as the fourth item down in the left column. This is known as a Combining Enclosing Circle.

When you double-click the shaded circle above, immediately following a number entry, it will enclose the number (or any character) in a circle. Also, its neighbor is the combining enclosing circle backslash.

Hi Walter,

They are hiding under Menu > Edit > Emoji & Symbols

I don't know what category includes circled numbers, so I typed digit in the search box and scrolled

Drag a symbol to your document and set the font size.

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Walter,

But wait! There is more!

Another way to roll your own.

Insert a circle Shape

While the Shape is selected, type a number. Drag the circle to enlarge, or reduce the font size to see all the digits.

Format Panel > Style > Fill > No Fill and Border > Line 1pt.

Change the font colour from white to black

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Walter,

Yes, there are lots of steps to create the first circled number. However, you can select it then

Menu > Edit > Duplicate Selection (command d), and type a new number.

Or Save as Template for future use 😉.

Happy Paging!

Ian.

See this thread and the answer by VikingOSX

type a number inside a circle with keyboard

"Often, you will see Unicode characters represented as U+2460 ① . You can actually type this unicode string in the Character Viewer search window, and the corresponding character code will appear. In HTML, it would be represented as "①" without the quotes. You can see these values in the previously linked Enclosed Alphanumerics chart."

"All circled numbers are there."

Bit of an overstatement…

Where's

😉<ducks>

EDIT: Found it: ⑫

⑩ to ⑳ and ㉑ to ㉟ are a bit further on, as well as circled letters in upper and lower case

Easier yet! 🙂

Just follow Yellowbox's advice. All circled numbers are there.
