a single font can contain a maximum of about 65000 glyphs, but there are over 150000 defined Unicode glyphs, so a single font of last resort isn’t possible, unfortunately. Complete coverage would require multiple fonts.

It’s not pleasant to read. Strange, since Tonsky is the curator of the Fira Code font, and would presumably be interested in presentation

I think these “ink traps” might be effective on low resolution displays. But yes, those parentheses indicate it’s not a coding font.

Fortunately fonts usually don't contain perfect circles anyway, because the designer will optically correct any circles so that they don't appear to bulge. Kabel is the closest font I found with circular formas; LineTo's Circ
