You can also just use the numbers in the U+2776-U+2793 range which
will give you 1-10 as Serif numbers in black or white circles as well
as Sans-Serif 1-10 in black circles. Why fool around when the
characters exist in your fonts?
On the theoretical side: because these "characters" are dingbats, i.e.
specific graphics encoded as characters in a technical sense but not true
text characters.
On the practical side: because they mostly _don't_ exist in fonts. See the
short font list at
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2776/fontsupport.htm
People's computers may have other fonts containing dingbats, but a) the
appearances may be surprising and b) those fonts may have non-Unicode
encodings.
