Create a circle from right isosceles triangles
$begingroup$
You have an infinite number of these right isosceles triangles, each consisting of three lines of equal width but no fill. You may scale each triangle to any size and the line width will remain the same. Construct a figure using as little triangles as you can, such that an intelligent human will, upon looking at the figure, discern the meaning "circle."
Rules:
- The intelligent human may be from anywhere on Earth (so no Nepali, Boston inside jokes, etc)
- There can and will obviously be other meanings to the figure. "Circle" must be The or one of the most apparent meanings.
