Description

PlantUml defines a textual notation for a lot of diagrams. Arrow specifications like <-- and <- work really nicely with FiraCode. However, there's also specifications like <. and <.. (and of course .> and ..>) which represent dotted arrow lines. Or <--> etc. It would be amazing if Fira could also provide ligatures for those symbols.

Research direction

The issue identifies PlantUML arrow sequences such as <., <.., .>, and ..> as the requested additions. No files or tests are named; first locate FiraCode's existing arrow-ligature definitions, compare their handling of dotted arrows, and consider the work done when the listed sequences render as ligatures.
