Usage notes
- As either a gender or chemical symbol, this character should display as a simple circle rather than as an emoji. Appending the variation selector ︎ will override emoji formatting. Technically, for 'oxygen' the font color should be set to red, ⟨⟩, though it's not uncommon for that detail to be omitted. The old chemical symbol might instead by typeset with the full-moon character ⟨🌕︎⟩, depending on which better matches the size of other element symbols.
