How do you put a circle around the numbers 9 and 10?

That being said, if this is not something that needs to fully associative you could simple leave an extra space before and after the numbers that you want circled and then create another note using the Drafting Symbol for a 'Sphere' set at twice the font size of the note and simply place them over the numbers, as seen below:
Another approach would be leave the numbers out of the text string altogether but including enough blank spaces so that you could later place a couple of ID 'Balloons', with the desired numbers, in the gaps.

So, in many applications (including NX, I think), you can type 2473 and then press Alt+X, and you'll get a circled number 20. If that doesn't work, try copy/paste from the Windows Character Map app.
