What ⑶ means
It marks the third item in a numbered sequence.
Use this parenthesized 3 as a compact label in an outline, inline list, or reference; it marks an item, not an arithmetic value.
Its style comes from older East Asian character sets that used enclosed numbers as text bullets; Unicode places it in a wider family of these forms.
Why can ⑶ look wider or narrower?
Fonts can give it wider or narrower spacing.
In East Asian text, its width depends on font and context, so a line can align differently from one using ordinary characters.
