Description
This issue is created to revive #972 issue which is from 2020 and by looks dead.
- Seven segment characters (digits) [U+1FBF0 — U+1FBF9] (🯰🯱🯲🯳🯴🯵🯶🯷🯸🯹)
- More drawing characters (IDK which category are these) [U+1FB00 — U+1FBCA] (Too many for copy-pasting manually 🦥)
Personally I would be satisfied even with first but there are also many terminal art/style things I need second option for. For example https://github.com/sunjon/stylish.nvim and https://github.com/sunjon/extmark-toy.nvim

Research direction
Start by reviewing the revived #972 issue and the repository's existing approach to Unicode glyph support. The concrete first target is the seven-segment range U+1FBF0–U+1FBF9; broader support for U+1FB00–U+1FBCA is suggested but not categorized. Done means the selected Legacy Computing Symbols render correctly in FiraCode.
