Without tikz

\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{dingbat}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx,xcolor}

\newcommand\circledmark[1][red]{%
  \ooalign{%
    \hidewidth
    \kern0.65ex\raisebox{-0.9ex}{\scalebox{3}{\textcolor{#1}{\textbullet}}}
    \hidewidth\cr
    $\checkmark$\cr
  }%
}

\newcommand\circled[1][red]{%
    \raisebox{-0.9ex}{\scalebox{3}{\textcolor{#1}{\textbullet}}}
  }%

\begin{document}

This is circled \circledmark\quad\circledmark[cyan] and filled \circled[cyan]

\end{document}

One easy way would be to use TikZ as in the following MWE

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz}

\begin{document}
Some Text \tikz\draw[red,fill=red] (0,0) circle (.5ex); further text
\end{document}

which produces

enter image description here

Where the first red defines the line style of the drawn circle to be red and the fill=red specifies, that its solid red. You could also use black,fill=red to obtain a red circle with a black border. Finally of course the .5ex is the radius of the circle.

The shapes.misc library offers the rounded rectangle shape. You can also use the shadows library to add shadows.

\documentclass[border=3pt]{standalone}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.misc,shadows}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=(char.base)]
\node(char)[draw,fill=white,
  shape=rounded rectangle,
  drop shadow={opacity=.5,shadow xshift=0pt},
  minimum width=1.8cm]
  {1,3,4,6};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
