Adding ○ (U+25CB) to quan1 would be less surprising I suppose, but I
really don't see any reason to have it anywhere. While not having
IDEOGRAPHIC NUMBER ZERO could be considered an omission or even bug, as
it is quite ubiquitous and a common way to write ling2 (in the meaning
"zero") in Chinese numerals, adding U+25CB is more similar to adding
various emoji or heart symbols to xin1 or a flower to hua1 or what have
you, i.e. definitely not necessary and AFAICT the py-b5 input method
doesn't do that for other symbols, either.
