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.
