The problem with most of the other answers here is you need to tweak the size of the outer container so that it is the perfect size based on the font size and number of characters to be displayed. If you are mixing 1 digit numbers and 4 digit numbers, it won't work. If the ratio between the font size and the circle size isn't perfect, you'll either end up with an oval or a small number vertically aligned at the top of a large circle.

We need a solution that will work fine for any amount of text and any size circle.

Solution 1: Static widths

Just set the width to be something slightly larger than the maximum number of characters you anticipate. Here, I've used ch units, which is the width of the 0 character. Since the maximum number of characters is 7, I chose 8ch (however em, px, etc units will work just fine too):

.numberCircle {
  display: flex;
  width: 8ch; /* Set this to slightly wider than the longest string */
  align-items: center;  
  justify-content: center;
  aspect-ratio: 1 / 1;
  border-radius: 50%;  
  border: 2px solid #666;
}

<div class="numberCircle">1</div>
<div class="numberCircle">100</div>
<div class="numberCircle">10000</div>
<div class="numberCircle">1000000</div>

Solution 2: Variable widths

The following solution will make the size of the circle be slightly larger than the width of the text:

.numberCircle {
  display: flex;
  width: fit-content;
  min-width: 1rem;
  padding: 0.5rem;
  align-items: center;  
  justify-content: center;
  aspect-ratio: 1 / 1;
  border-radius: 50%;  
  border: 2px solid #666;
}

<div class="numberCircle">1</div>
<div class="numberCircle">100</div>
<div class="numberCircle">10000</div>
<div class="numberCircle">1000000</div>
<div class="numberCircle">Even longer string</div>

Something like this could work (for numbers 0 to 99):

.circle {
  border: 0.1em solid grey;
  border-radius: 100%;
  height: 2em;
  width: 2em;
  text-align: center;
}

.circle p {
  margin-top: 0.10em;
  font-size: 1.5em;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  color: grey;
}

<body>
  <div class="circle">
    <p>30</p>
  </div>
</body>

You can use

span.red {
    background: red;
    border-radius: 0.8em;
    -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
    color: #ffffff;
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin-right: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.6em;
}

span.grey {
    background: #cccccc;
    border-radius: 0.8em;
    -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
    color: #fff;
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin-right: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.6em;
}

span.green {
    background: #5EA226;
    border-radius: 0.8em;
    -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
    color: #ffffff;
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin-right: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.6em;
}

span.blue {
    background: #5178D0;
    border-radius: 0.8em;
    -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
    color: #ffffff;
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin-right: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.6em;
}

span.pink {
    background: #EF0BD8;
    border-radius: 0.8em;
    -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
    color: #ffffff;
    display: inline-block;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 1.6em;
    margin-right: 15px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 1.6em;
}

    <h1><span class="grey">1</span>A grey circle with number inside</h1>
    <h1><span class="red">2</span>A red circle with number inside</h1>
    <h1><span class="blue">3</span>A blue circle with number inside</h1>
    <h1><span class="green">4</span>A green circle with number inside</h1>
    <h1><span class="pink">5</span>A pink circle with number inside</h1>

You work like with a standard block, that is a square

This is feature of CSS 3 and it is not very well suporrted, you can count on firefox and safari for sure.

.circle {
  width: 10em;
  height: 10em;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5em;
  -moz-border-radius: 5em;
  border: 1px solid black;
}

<div class="circle"><span>1234</span></div>

For circle sizes varying based on the content this should work:

.numberCircle {
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: 0px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border: 2px solid;
  font-size: 32px;
}

.numberCircle span {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-top: 50%;
  padding-bottom: 50%;
  margin-left: 8px;
  margin-right: 8px;
}

<span class="numberCircle"><span>30</span></span>
<span class="numberCircle"><span>1</span></span>
<span class="numberCircle"><span>5435</span></span>
<span class="numberCircle"><span>2</span></span>
<span class="numberCircle"><span>100</span></span>

It relies on the width of the content plus the margin-'s to determine the radius, then extends the height to match using the padding-'s. The margin-'s would need to be adjusted based on the font-size.

Update to remove inner element:

.numberCircle {
  display: inline-block;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border: 2px solid;
  font-size: 32px;
}

.numberCircle:before,
.numberCircle:after {
  content: '\200B';
  display: inline-block;
  line-height: 0px;
  padding-top: 50%;
  padding-bottom: 50%;
}

.numberCircle:before {
  padding-left: 8px;
}

.numberCircle:after {
  padding-right: 8px;
}

<span class="numberCircle">30</span>
<span class="numberCircle">1</span>
<span class="numberCircle">5435</span>
<span class="numberCircle">2</span>
<span class="numberCircle">100</span>

Uses pseudo-elements to force the height. Need the zero width space for vertical alignment. Moved the line-height:0px from the outer to the pseudo so that it is at least visible when degrading for IE8.

I am surprised nobody used flex which is easier to understand, so I put my version of answer here:

To create a circle, make sure width equals height
To adapt to font-size of number in the circle, use em rather than px
To center the number in the circle, use flex with justify-content: center; align-items: center;
if the number grows (>1000 for example), increase the width and height at same time

Here is an example:

.circled-number {
  color: #666;
  border: 2px solid #666;
  border-radius: 50%;
  font-size: 1rem;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  width: 2em; 
  height: 2em;
}

.circled-number--big {
  color: #666;
  border: 2px solid #666;
  border-radius: 50%;
  font-size: 1rem;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  width: 4em; 
  height: 4em;
}

<div class="circled-number">
  30
</div>

<div class="circled-number--big">
  3000000
</div>

Here's a demo on JSFiddle and a snippet:

/* Creating a number within a circle using CSS */

.numberCircle {
    font-family: "OpenSans-Semibold", Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;
    display: inline-block;
    color: #fff;
    text-align: center;
    line-height: 0px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    font-size: 12px;
    min-width: 38px;
    min-height: 38px;
}

.numberCircle span {
    display: inline-block;
    padding-top: 50%;
    padding-bottom: 50%;
    margin-left: 1px;
    margin-right: 1px;
}

Here's a demo on JSFiddle and a snippet:

.numberCircle {
    border-radius: 50%;
    width: 36px;
    height: 36px;
    padding: 8px;

    background: #fff;
    border: 2px solid #666;
    color: #666;
    text-align: center;

    font: 32px Arial, sans-serif;
}

<div class="numberCircle">30</div>

My answer is a good starting point, some of the other answers provide flexibility for different situations. If you care about IE8, look at the old version of my answer.

Heres my way of doing it, using square method. upside is it works with different values, but you need 2 spans.

.circle {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid black;
  border-radius: 50%;
  position: relative;
  padding: 5px;
}
.circle::after {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  padding-bottom: 100%;
  height: 0;
  opacity: 0;
}
.num {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
}
.width_holder {
  display: block;
  height: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
}

<div class="circle">
  <span class="width_holder">1</span>
  <span class="num">1</span>
</div>
<div class="circle">
  <span class="width_holder">11</span>
  <span class="num">11</span>
</div>
<div class="circle">
  <span class="width_holder">11111</span>
  <span class="num">11111</span>
</div>
<div class="circle">
  <span class="width_holder">11111111</span>
  <span class="num">11111111</span>
</div>

Late to the party, but here is a bootstrap-only solution that has worked for me. I'm using Bootstrap 4:

<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<body>
<div class="row mt-4">
<div class="col-md-12">
<span class="bg-dark text-white rounded-circle px-3 py-1 mx-2 h3">1</span>
<span class="bg-dark text-white rounded-circle px-3 py-1 mx-2 h3">2</span>
<span class="bg-dark text-white rounded-circle px-3 py-1 mx-2 h3">3</span>
</div>
</div>
</body>

You basically add bg-dark text-white rounded-circle px-3 py-1 mx-2 h3 classes to your <span> (or whatever) element and you're done.

Note that you might need to adjust margin and padding classes if your content has more than one digits.

This version does not rely on hard-coded, fixed values but sizes relative to the font-size of the div.

http://jsfiddle.net/qod1vstv/

CSS:

.numberCircle {
    font: 32px Arial, sans-serif;

    width: 2em;
    height: 2em;
    box-sizing: initial;

    background: #fff;
    border: 0.1em solid #666;
    color: #666;
    text-align: center;
    border-radius: 50%;    

    line-height: 2em;
    box-sizing: content-box;   
}

HTML:

<div class="numberCircle">30</div>
<div class="numberCircle" style="font-size: 60px">1</div>
<div class="numberCircle" style="font-size: 12px">2</div>

The answer of thirtydot is right but is missing a little point. You need to add position: relative , if you want to have centered value in the circle and include also different range of number. For example 123;

HTML:

<div class="numberCircle">30</div>

CSS:

.numberCircle {    

border-radius: 50%;
behavior: url(PIE.htc); /* remove if you don't care about IE8 */
width: 36px;
height: 36px;
padding: 8px;
position: relative;
background: #fff;
border: 2px solid #666;
color: #666;
text-align: center;

font: 32px Arial, sans-serif;
}

but an easiest solution is to use Bootstrap

<span class="badge" style ="float:right">123</span>

Improving the first answer just get rid of the padding and add line-height and vertical-align:

.numberCircle {
   border-radius: 50%;       

   width: 36px;
   height: 36px;
   line-height: 36px;
   vertical-align:middle;

   background: #fff;
   border: 2px solid #666;
   color: #666;

   text-align: center;
   font: 32px Arial, sans-serif;
}

My solution here - this easily allows for different sizes and colors and ties into a CMS for editorial control. For IE degrading to squares.

HTML:

<div class="circular-label label-outer label-size-large label-color-pink">
    <div class="label-inner"> 
        <span>Fashion & Beauty</span>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

.circular-label {
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: 100;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-size: 11px;
    -webkit-box-shadow:0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    -moz-box-shadow:0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.label-inner {
    width: 85%;
    height: 85%;
    -moz-border-radius: 50%;
    -webkit-border-radius: 50%;
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: 2px dotted white;
    vertical-align: middle;
    margin: auto;
    top: 5%;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.label-inner > span {
    display: table;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    margin: auto;
    margin-top: 38%;
    font-family:'ProximaNovaLtSemibold';
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 1.0em;
}
.circular-label.label-size-large {
    width: 110px;
    height: 110px;
    -moz-border-radius: 55px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 55px;
    border-radius: 55px;
    margin-top:-55px;
}
.circular-label.label-size-med {
    width: 76px;
    height: 76px;
    -moz-border-radius: 38px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 38px;
    border-radius: 38px;
    margin-top:-38px;
}
.circular-label.label-size-med .label-inner > span {
    margin-top: 33%;
}
.circular-label.label-size-small {
    width: 66px;
    height: 66px;
    -moz-border-radius: 33px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 33px;
    border-radius: 33px;
    margin-top:-33px;
}

It's not too difficult to see how to do this. The bigger question is whether it is possible to make the dimensions of the circle scale to content.

Currently I don't think it is possible. Anyone?

If it's 20 and lower, you can just use the unicode characters ① ② ... ⑳

Do something like this in your css

 div {
    width: 10em; height: 10em; 
    -webkit-border-radius: 5em; -moz-border-radius: 5em;
  }
  p {
    text-align: center; margin-top: 4.5em;
  }

Use the paragraph tag to write the text. Hope that helps

You can use the border-radius for this:

<html>
  <head>
    <style type="text/css">

    .round
    {
        -moz-border-radius: 15px;
        border-radius: 15px;
        padding: 5px;
        border: 1px solid #000;
    }

  </style>
  </head>  
  <body>   
    <span class="round">30</span>
  </body>
</html>

Play with the border radius and the padding values until you are satisfied with the result.

But this won't work in all browsers. I guess IE still does not support rounded corners.
