Turn 1A60 dotted circle → plus #8

I’m the author of Unicodia, the most comprehensive character picker ever. And, of course, I’m always looking for nice fonts. Yours is the nicest, both in style and in technical virtues. But I cannot use it in Unicodia because of two issues. Here’s one of them.

25CC+1A60: some strange ligature: dotted circle, and a smaller circle underneath. Could you make dotted circle + cross instead? image

UPD. 1A60 is a dotted circle, just turn it to plus, and everything’s OK!

You see, this mark is just dotted circle. As it’s an invisible character, it can have any shape :) IMHO, plus is standard. image

A small dotted circle is used across a number of southeast asian scripts and can be argued to be used more than the +. Since this is a representation of an abstract character, it is hard to say which is 'correct'. We have no plans to change the shape of this character.
