There are also some additional dingbats, but I avoided adding them both because naming is hard, they double as emojis, and it's not entirely clear whether they belong under bullet or not.

Closes #88

U+2022 • BULLET (sym.bullet) has the Unicode informative alias "black small circle", but is not present in Typst as a variant of sym.circle. U+2219 ∙ BULLET OPERATOR (sym.bullet.op in this PR) has no Unicode informative alias, but is already present as sym.circle.filled.small.

Do you know what the point of bullet.hole is?

We need to do an overhaul of geometric shapes at one point, but that's a much bigger project

I believe it's just another alternative bullet for use in lists. Font support is pretty lacking though.

Edit: This is what it looks like in Noto Sans Symbols 2

It's official name is "inverse bullet"

Seeing as it seems to be used as list markers in some documents, let's keep bullet.hole.

Similarly to circle.stroked.tiny with compose.o, we'll probably want to deprecate circle.filled.small in favor of bullet.op too. (Both of these codepoints are in the Mathematical Operators block)

Edit to clarify: I don't mean that such a deprecation has to happen in this PR.

We need a more systematic and consistent naming scheme for the geometric shapes at least.

There's no real hard distinction between mathematical operators and geometric shapes. Some are used for both.
