You could use the circledsteps package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{circledsteps}
\makeatletter
\def@biblabel#1{{\scriptsize\CircledText{#1}}}

\usepackage{tikz} \newcommand*\circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{ \node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}but the same problem happens – Student Aug 07 '23 at 07:47inner septo have a bigger padding between number and circle. Usetext width=width("00"), align=rightto have a circle that fits a two-digit number even if the content is only one-digit. Use therounded rectangleto achieve something similar to Sam's answer with TikZ. Though,circledstepsis the preferred solution because it's a lighter approach. – Qrrbrbirlbel Aug 07 '23 at 09:31
