What ⓺ means
It labels the sixth item in an ordered list.
The extra ring gives this list marker a distinct style. Use plain 6 for arithmetic or data that needs numeric sorting.
The rings belong to this single character. Adding a separate circle mark to plain 6 creates different text, and fonts do not all place such marks reliably.
