What glyph do you expect that to ligate to?

What glyph do you expect that to ligate to?

Something like: Untitled

PaulDempsey-ms commented 2 years ago

And what symbol is that? What programming language/notation? What is the use case? I didn't find something like it in Unicode, but I didn't do an exhaustive search.

ghoomfrog commented 2 years ago

I didn't know something had to be in Unicode for it to be added as a ligature. My bad.

DHowett commented 2 years ago

It definitely doesn't! There's precedent in Cascadia for having symbols that aren't Unicode glyphs like the double tilde ... and we certainly do have a ligature for ==< already:

PaulDempsey-ms commented 2 years ago

It doesn't have to be, but it does help provide justification info about the usage/need (and probably a nice rendition of the symbol).

JAYD3V commented 2 years ago

What a waste of time this issue is. Not only was there not justification for the request, but the damn thing already exists!

ghoomfrog commented 2 years ago

@JAYD3V If so, it was only added recently.

EDIT: I checked. It doesn't exist yet (=< not ==<).
