Description
For some reason, calling Circle() in REPL displays the three o'clock symbol:
julia> VERSION
v"1.7.2-pre.0"
(@v1.7) pkg> st ApproxFun
Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.7/Project.toml`
[28f2ccd6] ApproxFun v0.13.0
julia> using ApproxFun
julia> Circle()
🕒
Instead of the three o'clock symbol, I think the type information of the constructed Circle instance should be displayed.
@less Circle() reveals that the constructor is defined in the ApproxFunFourier package. Restarting Julia and calling Circle() directly from ApproxFunFourier shows the type information of the constructed instance correctly:
julia> using ApproxFunFourier
julia> Circle()
Circle{Float64, Float64, ComplexF64}(0.0, 1.0, true)

Research direction
Inspect the REPL display path selected after using ApproxFun, beginning with @less Circle() and comparing it with direct use of ApproxFunFourier. Reproduce the supplied Julia 1.7.2-pre example and determine why the constructed Circle is rendered as 🕒. Done means the REPL reports the Circle instance's type information consistently in both contexts.
