Research direction

Start by reviewing how the existing lowercase “i” variant without a base is represented in FiraCode and how font glyph variants are developed. Determine the intended appearance and scope for a corresponding lowercase “r” variant; the work is done when the new variant is implemented and verified alongside the existing glyph variant.
