Description

/> looks very bad, hard to read & feels forced. Since I see this often in HTML, I find the slash to be noisy anyhow in normal fonts, so I do appreciate the attempt. I'd prefer a version with the / is smaller but with a space before >. Let me know if you want a mockup.

Research direction

Review the requested rendering of /> and compare it with the current ligature in the font. A mockup or clearer specification is needed first; done would mean an agreed design that makes the slash smaller while preserving a space before >.
