It's only the main action on woodwinds that have the xxx|xxx or ooo|ooo (and any combination of both) fingering diagrams, other keys that are operated are named and placed in their appropriate place.
On harp, sometimes the thumb is T (or P in French, with the fingers being 1,2 and 3) or 1 (with the remaing fingers being 2,3,and 4), depending on the editor's preferrence.
Though as far as note names go, be aware that in German-speaking countries B means Bb, and H means B natural. So never say "play Happy Birthday' in B" when doing a joint concert with a German band or orchestra - not that you'd want to be playing in concert B (natural) anyway.
Diagrams with shaded shapes are fine as being instantly recognisable, but we have to make do with what we have in front of us - letters, numbers and a few punctuation symbols that are to hand as it's quicker than using the character map to find half-filled circles and fractions that fit in one space.
