Description

x-fira-code

The ligature for x is swapped for me. This is in emacs using the fira-code-mode package
https://github.com/jming422/fira-code-mode

Not sure if this is a problem in that package or here. Posting here anyway just in case.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the swapped x and 0xFF ligatures in Emacs with the fira-code-mode package. Compare the behavior in FiraCode with the package's handling to determine whether the inversion belongs in the font or fira-code-mode; done means the two ligatures render with their intended meanings.
