Description

Hi!

First of all, thank you for this amazing font, I can't use other fonts anymore ;)

I was wondering if you could modify the rendering of braille characters so that only the highlighted dots are shown. As of now, this is how Fira Code renders them:

Can the empty dots be hidden so that only the line is shown and not the rest of the character rectangle?

Thank you very much for your work!
