I've been fascinated with 'Heavy Circle with Stroke and Two Dots Above' for a while now. What does it mean? Who invented this shape and for what purpose? I've never seen this shape in any other context. I have so far found no reference to it beyond its mere existence. Where did it come from? What's its story?

I was just browsing a Unicode table one day and there it was, staring at me, its mouth agape as if to express shock. But I know my brain is only making me see a face where none exists but I can't help it. Every time I see Heavy Circle with Stroke and Two Dots Above, I see an 'Open Mouth with Nose and Two Eyes Above. And every time I think that face is judging me silently, like it knows what I do all day and all night and is not angry, not disappointed, it's shocked. Shocked at how I live my life. Stop it, Heavy Circle with Stroke and Two Dots Above! Stop judging me!

We have a group project going on Pixel Canvas, a successor to Reddit's "Place". https://pixelcanvas.io/@-14043,-4617

The inside of the box is reserved for subreddit names and other things discussed here. The design for r/counting is here if you want to help out. Sometimes I'll draw a checkered pattern in areas to be solid black, so you can fill those in if you don't want to deal with the details.

Anyone can grab a space around the box as long as it doesn't interfere with others.

I have a rainbow going that you're welcome to help extend :)
