The classic circled set ① to ⑳ covers 1 to 20, with ⓪ for zero. Black circled digits ❶ to ❿ are filled for stronger emphasis, and ➀ to ➉ are sans-serif circles. ⑴ to ⑽ use parentheses, and ⒈ to ⒐ add a period. Each style is a separate block of characters, so they will not match if mixed in one list.
Circled numbers continue in the CJK block, with 21 to 35 at U+3251 to U+325F and 36 to 50 at U+32B1 to U+32BF. The circled letters Ⓐ to Ⓩ and ⓐ to ⓩ are in the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, so each has a separate uppercase and lowercase form. They are common for step markers, footnote labels and map keys.
These characters are symbols, not formatted digits. A search for 5 will not find ⑤ and some screen readers read them oddly or skip them. Keep the meaning clear in nearby words, and use them as decoration or as markers rather than as the only place a number appears. Unusual fonts may also draw the circles at different sizes.
For step-by-step instructions, ① ② ③ gives a tidy sequence that stands out from body text. Use the black circled set ❶ ❷ ❸ when you need extra contrast on a pale background. Mixed styles in the same list tend to look careless, so choose one set and stay with it.

Yes, in the CJK Enclosed block, 21 to 50 exist as ㉑ to ㊿, though font support is less consistent than for the first twenty.
Unicode lists them as circled Latin capital and small letters in the Enclosed Alphanumerics block, from Ⓐ at U+24B6 and ⓐ at U+24D0.
