Description
Hi,
For my work, I need access to extended Latin glyphs and phonetic characters, as well as (occasionally) math symbols. Unfortunately, setting Unicode fallback fonts in Emacs is a royal pain in the neck; it would be much more convenient if these symbols were simply available as part of Fira Code.
I find that the Menlo font on Mac (which is almost identical to DejaVu Sans Mono) has almost exactly the same metrics as Fira Code, and a very similar style. Could you just copy over the Latin Extended, phonetic symbols, and math symbols blocks from DejaVu Sans Mono into Fira Code (and then tweak the glyphs later if necessary?). It would save me a lot of grief.
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Fira Code font sources and comparing the requested Latin Extended, phonetic symbols, and math symbols blocks with DejaVu Sans Mono. Confirm the available font workflow and how glyph metrics are checked; done means the requested Unicode glyphs are included in Fira Code with compatible metrics and style.
