Description

I'm using oh-my-posh on W10 PowerShell Core. Used a registry mod to change the console font to Hack. Unfortunately the cute little lightning bolt from power-line isn't a part of the font set. Any chance you could add it please 🙏

Research direction
The issue requests adding the powerline lightning bolt character (U+26A1) to the Hack font. First, review the Hack font's existing glyph set and design guidelines in the repository. Then, using a font editor like FontForge, create the glyph based on the powerline style. Ensure it matches the font's metrics and design. Finally, submit a pull request with the modified font file. Check if there are any existing discussions or rejected attempts in the issue comments.
