Description
https://github.com/typst/codex/issues/34 was closed by changing .circle to .o, which makes sense because circling mathematical operator is quite common. As I expressed in https://github.com/typst/codex/pull/62#issuecomment-2888905064, I believe .o should be kept for circling mathematical symbols only. For now, no circled symbol in Codex is not a mathematical operator. However, other modifiers that cause the base symbol to appear inside a geometric shape I propose to use an adjectival variant instead. This would change .square to .squared, .triangle to .triangled, and an hypothetical .circle for geometric shapes to .circled.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the modifier definitions for .square, .triangle, and .o, then check which Codex symbols use them and review the linked discussion for the intended naming boundary. Done means the affected geometric modifiers use adjectival names while .o remains reserved for mathematical operators.
