Description

Thanks for all the great work so far! Fira Code is a joy to use with functional languages like OCaml that make use of combinator symbols. In addition to >>= (which is already supported) the symbol >>| is commonly used in monadic code to represent the map operation on Monads. It would be great to have this be supported by Fira Code as well.

Research direction

Start by inspecting how the existing >>= ligature is defined in the Fira Code source and how ligature changes are previewed or tested. Add support for >>| alongside the related combinator and verify that it renders as a ligature in the font.
