Description

In the same sense as issue #53 a small E for scientific notation would be nice, like TI calculators.

It avoids confusion with hexadecimals (2ᴇ3 vs. 2E3).

Research direction
The issue requests adding the glyph for U+1D07 (LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL E) to the Hack font. First, locate the font source files (likely in the repository's source directory, such as .sfd or .glyphs files). Then, study how similar glyphs (e.g., U+1D06) are defined and replicate the approach for the new glyph. Ensure the glyph aligns with the font's design principles. Refer to the contribution guidelines for instructions on building the font after modification.
