Description

I personally find these to be by far the best character for indicating a TAB; although I welcome any suggestions for preexisting characters to substitute until (if) they are added.

Research direction

The issue requests adding U+205E and U+205D as TAB indicators in FiraCode, but names no files or tests. Start by checking the repository's font-editing and build instructions, then inspect how existing glyphs are defined. Done means both characters are included in the font and render as intended.
