Mind that a lot of patched Iosevkas are broken because fontforge before March 2022 Release shredders some tables.

#806 pulls that fixed release at least in, but iirc the 2.2.0 RC and all other 'normal' CI patching is done with an older fontforge version :-/

Are there any in FiraCode?

[Finii]

I guess the Request is about these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing

Codepoints 1FB00 - 1FB92, 1FB94 - 1FBCA, 1FBF0 - 1FBF9 if the Wikipedia page has it correct.

Nerd Fonts does not patch them in anywhere. If some font (in your case FiraCode) has them originally they will of course be preserved.

Quick check with fontforge ... the unpatched FiraCode in this repo does not have any of them:

(Would be listed after the last entry, with U+1FB00 ...)

Counter example, Iosevka, as ChiefMikeK pointed out:

[USLTD]

You could edit your /etc/fonts.conf fallback-font to Iosveka

[Finii]

There is no need to edit the fonts conf, nowadays.

I just installed iosevka, locally, and - without any font-cache-reload stuff that some people still claim is needed, I get

On all systems I work with that is done automagically, and - apart from installing the font - no need to do anything to get the font fallback (if it is supported by your terminal).
