This works better because then two pages with 6 candidates each are
displayed

  ;; zodiac symbols
  ("z" (delete @0) (("♈" "♉" "♊" "♋" "♌" "♍") ("♎" "♏" "♐" "♑" "♒" "♓")))

As the comment says:

    ;;  * Prefer restricting the size of a character cluster to 6 - so
    ;;  that the user can use digits more accessible to the left hand,
    ;;  with arrow keys using the right hand. For example, prefer
    ;;  "♥♡💔💖💘💓" "💞💕💌" to "♥♡💔💖💘💓💞💕💌".

When 

> +  ("z" (delete @0) ("♈♉♊♋♌♍♎♏♐♑♒♓"))

is used, one page with 12 candidates is displayed numbered
1. ... 9. 0. a. b. and one cannot select the last two easily (Only by
typing arrow down many times, typing "a" or "b" won't work).
