Description
When writing some Julia code (that allows Unicode out of the box), I noticed that the subscripts don't work well, particularly that x₍ₙ₊₁₎.

Maybe putting the n as low as the other stuff would fix that.
Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the rendering of x₍ₙ₊₁₎ in FiraCode using the Unicode example and compare it with the attached image. No source file or test is named, so first locate the glyph or font-generation entry point responsible for subscript positioning. Done means the combined subscripts render consistently, with the n aligned with the surrounding characters.
