glyph for e-B30 SQUARED CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-5408 should be squared

The original low-res icon was a rounded square - ambiguous enough to look 
okay, but, as a square it looks wrong because a circle means "correct" in 
Japan and the slang for that symbol in a school setting is "maru" . . . 
often used for zero. So a circle makes more sense than a square.

QUESTION: Do Japanese readers agree it is better as a circle?
ACTION: If so, the the name should change to 
CIRCLED_CJK_UNIFIED_IDEOGRAPH_5408

I have seen both a square and a circle. The docomo series all have a square 
for these Kanji + enclsorue combinations. I think we should follow their 
style.

I just realized that this is a duplicate of issue 59. We marked that as WontFix 
for 
not changing the proposed character name. I suggest we keep this one for the 
glyph 
fix to make it actually look squared (and not filled/negative).
