The “⟶” glyph has an interesting width

It’s wider than expected

thanks, I’ll take a look

It’s not in a font. What you see is a glyph from a fallback font, that’s why it has different width

[lensbart]

Perhaps the glyph of another arrow could be repurposed so that it doesn’t appear with a different width? If it’s currently not present, the behaviour will be the same for everyone.

Where are you getting it? Anything else you need in relation to this?

Nope, that’s it. I noticed it in Visual Studio Code. (The issue is not urgent or important for me, so feel free to close if outside of the scope of Fira Code.)

Thanks!
