Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When typing logical operators or grammatical symbols, fonts like fira code have custom glyphs for this. (e.g. =>, >=, <=, ..., +=, -=, ==, ===, !=, !==, etc.). Hyper currently does not use these glyphs.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like Hyper to implement support for these glyphs. this is a pretty common feature of Nerd Fonts.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Ive attempted to enable this via CSS, but it seems like there isn't a clear or universal way to do this.
