Yea I've never seen numbers larger than 999 to be fit into a circle, but in
Chinese documentations, the need for circled numbers between 51 and some
hundreds (999) is a long time request among pro
authors/editors/cartographers/engineers. The fallback to normal numbers after
50 has never stopped academic/religious books to maximize the usage of the
circled type, incl me myself -- yes you could see many books struggling with it
here. The fallback makes the footnotes/endnotes ugly but we really love that
full-width circle and the condensed numbers inside it... ;-) 

(ps. Bus route numbers on Chinese maps are also circled/boxed: this is how much
we love it. In QGIS this can be easily done by adding a suffix letter with a
custom font.)

Btw, the circled type mentioned here is just an example, e.g. boxed number,
inverted boxed number, braille number, and the Lorem Ipsum in Chinese --
天地玄黃宇宙洪荒日月盈昃晨宿列張 (each character stands for a sequenced number in its fixed
position, commonly used by ancient books, but for now we have to manually
sort-and-type) ... The core mind here is to extend the numbering to be more
customizable and flexible. Cheating with Unicode is just what came into my
mind, but not bound to it when better solutions do. Say e.g.: 

What if there's a textbox where users could put into their own beloved
sequence, and let LO pick up one-by-one in stack? (Of course such custom number
sequence should be saved within the document)
