Summary description: LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets
Announcement text:
KKsymbols 2.2.1: enclosures now auto-align their content to the current font's x-height by default, so short glyphs such as the lowercase roman numerals of \Rrnum line up uniformly without manual \vphantom (new \kksref / \kksrefoff / \kksrefauto); also fixes an infinite hang when a font-size command is used inside an argument. Backward compatible.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/kksymbols The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/kksymbols/

KKsymbols – LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets
This package offers LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets, with automatic scaling and baseline correction to ensure correct appearance in both horizontal and vertical writing modes.
The package relies on TikZ and works only with LuaLaTeX.
