How can I merge two shapes in svg?
<p>I have two shapes: circle and rectangle. Want to convert them into one figure. Are there any ways to do that in SVG code?</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code> &lt;svg width="400" height="400"&gt;
     &lt;defs&gt;
    &lt;g id="shape" fill="none" stroke="red"&gt;
      &lt;rect x="40" y="50" width="40" height="70" /&gt;
      &lt;circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" /&gt;
    &lt;/g&gt;
  &lt;/defs&gt;

  &lt;use xlink:href="#shape" x="50" y="50"  /&gt;
  &lt;use xlink:href="#shape" x="200" y="50" /&gt;

&lt;/svg&gt;</code></pre>
