Description
In Lua, ~= represents inequality, contrary to most languages who would use !=. Fira Code's ligatures converts this to ≃, and while this is fine on its own, I would appreciate if there was an option or a variant that could turn it off or turn it into ≠.
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reviewing Fira Code's existing ligature definitions and how the ~= sequence is currently rendered. Confirm whether the requested behavior should be an option or a font variant, then verify that Lua inequality displays as ≠ or remains unconverted while existing ligatures continue to work.
