> Desired solution:
> If the count indicator only displays one digit it should be a circle e.g
> (7)
> If the count indicator displays two digits it should be a lozenge shape
> e.g. two half circles joined by two straight lines e.g. (27)
> If the count indicator displays three digits it should be a lozenge shape
> e.g. two half circles joined by two straight lines e.g (527)
