Thanks for the feedback.

What you want is "font ligatures", which requires specific fonts (in this case, Cascadia Code) and also editor support. I'm not sure whether the preview tab supports this, but you can try to set markdown.preview.fontFamily to Cascadia Code first.

(Actually it is out of this extension's control. Please see https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/35410.)
