Dear Wolfgang,

\setupitemgroup[ltxitm][3][circlednumber,packed][stopper=]

It is working. It depends on the fonts. Also, \def\circlednum#1{\uchar{36}{95+#1}} \defineconversion[cnum][\circlednum] \defineitemgroup[txitm][levels=5] % \setupitemgroup[txitm][1][R] \setupitemgroup[txitm][2][a] \setupitemgroup[txitm][3][cnum,packed][stopper=] is working too. Thank you so much. Best regards, Dalyoung
