The "Symbol For Escape" is way to small too read.

Description
Unicode contains symbols for control characters (ASCII < 0x20). For example U+241b is for ESC,
which is called "escapecontrol" in FiraCode. The glyph contains the three letters E, S and C horizontally
arranged next to each other from left to right.
The problem: if you use U+241b in a text, it is way to small to recognize. In particular if the glyph gets
shaded it disappears in a shade of gray.
The same problem applies to all glyphs from U+2400 up to U+2421.

Research direction
Start by locating the font glyph definitions for Unicode U+2400 through U+2421, then compare their rendered size and contrast with surrounding symbols. Done means the control-character glyphs, including U+241B, remain clearly recognizable rather than disappearing when shaded.
