Anything that depends on PUA is by definition inadequate. It will result in
meaningless gibberish for anyone who doesn't have that specific font available.

> 3. ... for circled numbers larger than 50.
Yes, already in OOo 3.3 I can see that one of the numbering list choices is
these circled numbers, and yes, it does only go up to 50 (with a fallback to
normal numbers after that). (I assume that is a Unicode limitation - in OOo 3.3
the limit was 20. Unicode 12 mentions "Enclosed CJK Letters and Months" which
contains up to circled 50.)

P.S. This must be a packaging/language thing, because in my English Ubuntu LO I
don't see these extra list options. Oh, yes - if I go to Tools - Options -
Language and then enable "Asian" then I get these additional numbering choices.

One of the numbering choices is "Native Numbering". That sounds like you could
define an arbitrary numbering scheme as part of the localization process. I
don't know any of the details about this, but perhaps 
    css::i18n::XNativeNumberSupplier or searching for "NatNum" might help.
i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd didn't help me...


In general, it sounds like a horrible idea to me. Obviously trying to fit a 3
or four digit character inside a circle in the space designed to only hold one
character is simply going to look terrible. Plus, why stop arbitrarily at 9999?
(Or better yet, why not stop at 50?)
