I wrote a bit about that a few months ago in:
which described the CJK circled number characters like:
- ① = U+2460 = CIRCLED DIGIT ONE
- ㊿ = U+32BF = CIRCLED NUMBER FIFTY

I'd wondered what those were for!
Also in reference to the misused mathematical symbols I only use extended European characters in the languages / words that use them.
Polish: ł Ł
Icelandic etc: þ Þ ð Ð
German ß (ss). A Greek or mathematical beta is Β, a different code.
In Electronics a u is often used instead of Greek μ for micro- prefix, but μ is preferred.
Irish frequently uses áéíóú in names as well as the Language but not ì which is common in Scottish Gaelic. Old style Irish needs a different font for bh, gh, ph, ch, dh, mh, sh having a dot instead of h and the i without a dot, using the Turkish dot-less i is a bad idea. Old Irish orthography also has an alternate &, again you need the font not a fake
7 but a real Tironian et of the Irish/Scottish style ⁊. It's common on public signage. Hebrew uses the similar shape letter vav as &.
Good article. And most of the world and all readers are happy with regular capitals for FBI, CIA, FM, USA, NASA, NATO etc.
