Is there a way to use the “Combining Enclosing Circle” UNICODE character (U+20DD) together with some other character in Word 2010 to actually form a circled character? There are glyphs for e.g. circled digit one (“①”), but I need circled Latin capital letter A.
Answer
One trick to do this is to adjust the tracking. In Word (2007), you can highlight the two adjacent glyphs, go into the Font dialog, choose the character spacing tab, set "spacing" to "condensed" and "by" field to something such as 10pt. Check the preview for alignment.
This essentially sets the spacing between the two glyphs to a negative amount, causing the second one to overlap the first one. If you change the typeface or size, you will need to tweak it.
