I'd like to see these unified with English words that would also  
describe emphasis marks for other (Asian) scripts. U+0F37, at least,  
looks close enough to a 'circle'.

Is |text-emphasis|, by the way, suitable for Latin-script poems,  
songs and prayers, which may feature similar marks?

Creativity /can/ be a good thing, even in typography. A language like  
CSS should not raise artificial boundaries.
