Description

Hello. Thank you for the great work with Fira Code!

I found that Fira Code doesn't support Narrow No-Break Space character (U+202F or &#8239).
It results, for example, to display an [?] icon in Linux console for some output, which looks untidy:

Is it possible to add this particular symbol or the whole non-breaking space family? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space)

Research direction

The issue identifies the missing U+202F Narrow No-Break Space glyph and links an example from the Linux console. Start by finding how Fira Code defines and builds its glyph set; done means U+202F renders as a supported character instead of a placeholder, with the related non-breaking-space characters considered as described.
