Description

From what I can tell from https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/blob/master/FiraCode.glyphs, the only currently available double-struck letters are B, C, H, N, P, Q, R, and Z. It would be nice if this was extended to the entire (uppercase) alphabet as some additional ligatures programs use them (e.g. 𝕊 for string).

Research direction

Open FiraCode.glyphs and compare the existing double-struck letters B, C, H, N, P, Q, R, and Z with the ligature definitions. Extend the uppercase set to the remaining letters, then verify that the requested double-struck forms, including 𝕊, are available as programming ligatures.
