This pair is common in Javascript with Flow type annotations, where this is used in type annotations to denote an exact object type. ({ a: number } specifies a type that can have properties other than a, while {| a: number |} specifies a type that has only the property a.)

The Fira versions of these ligatures are below.

I have to say one thing... Fira's version is horrible. We need more crafted design.

[asazernik]

Fair enough. I prefer Fira's ligature to the two adjacent characters, but that's a low low bar.

Plan to make something like this. Also adding [| and |] for Haskell-ish idiom bracket.

@asazernik They are now in dlig.

Closing. I am targeting a version 4.0.2 release tomorrow with these included, as well as fixes of symbols.
