Thanks for all the feedback! I think it's fair to say most people are pending towards Arabic characters in the top circle. I am considering keeping the consonant-vowel pair جو <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AC%D9%88> there, since the Indic जू <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A5%82> is ja+u as well, and the Chinese 朱 <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%9C%B1> also includes the "u" sound -- so this would retain the symmetry. I'll post the updated proposal soon.
