Description

First of all: Thanks a lot!
So it turns out im neither missing U+000D nor U+240D or at least I don't need them. There is definitely a bug which causes CR and such symbols to be displayed in kinda comic sans at low font-sizes.

That said I need the CR-Arrow (aka. ↵).
That said [U+21B0 - U+21B3] seem to exist but neither U+21B4 nor my desired U+21B5 are to be found.

If you cold double-check this for me as I do not have any decent knowlege of font mechanics.

You have stated that you build your own custom font out of FiraCode to add CR on when it was not implemented yet. Maybe you could recommend an easy to use software just to add or edit some characters?
Thanks a lot in advance!
