≺ (`\prec`) hard to distinguish from less-than about juliamono HOT 8 CLOSED

Yes, it’s tricky. Although these are Unicode characters, in a monospaced font all glyphs all have to have the same width - they can be taller of course. If they were much wider they’ll either be truncated or start overlapping their neighbours, depending on which terminal/IDE you’re using - “unwanted ligatures” perhaps 😀

Good idea. Something like this perhaps?

That looks awesome! 😍

One tiny thought, feel free to ignore, but would it be possible to make them a little larger as well or is this already the limit you would reasonably go? I'd argue that unlike the regular equality operators which occur in code frequently and therefore need to blend in, these have some more license to stick out because usually something non-standard is going on. I'm not a designer though, so this line of reasoning might not make much sense in a more general purpose font design context

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. There probably isn't that much room to go a lot taller here either since that will interfere for the stacked variants. I'll be perfectly happy with the tweaks you showed above already, so please go ahead

Am I missing something or does ≼ (u+227c) and ≽ (u+227d) each occur twice here, where each second occurrence is slightly lower?

Personally I think I would prefer the not so heavily stacked signs ≤, ≥, ≺, ≻, ≼, ≽, ≾, ≿ to have their “sharp point” at the same height as those of < and >—but I have barely thought this through so there might very well be some good reason against that. That said, I think all these already look perfectly alright in JuliaMono 0.051:

from juliamono.

no, you're not missing anything 😀 the attempt at a redesign of U+227C involved making the < curve more but then having to move the single line to be a straight line below (like the U+2aaf version (which I'm guessing has the same meaning...) since I couldn't work out how to make it look right with the curve -

but perhaps this is OK 🤔
