hi

Possible to add these please? They're just 2 and 3 rotated 180.
I did that in fontforge here and it seems to work okay "as is" (no other fiddling done), but never contributed to a font before so not sure of the process...

Thanks, Ian

They are used in dozenal (duodecimal / base 12) for 10 and 11. Various characters have been suggested and used over the years, but the Unicode people have now made those two glyphs the "official" characters to use.

Symbola has added them, but Symbola is a serif font, and I use Fira Code in my editor... :-)

Thanks, Ian

I can add them in next version. There’s no contribution process at the
moment
