Research direction
The issue lists missing glyphs by Unicode ranges and font variants. The repository's source font files (likely in the 'source' directory) contain the glyph data. The linked comment in issue #286 provides additional context on the full build review. To start, examine the source files for the specified Unicode characters and determine the glyph format used (e.g., UFO). Then, create the missing glyphs following the existing style. No open PRs or recent activity indicate the issue is currently unattended.
