Description of the new feature/enhancement

Sure, not all monospace fonts have the support for APL (and other languages that use a few Unicode mathematical symbols for programming), so I wonder if Cascadia Code should support it? It has been discussed in some font repos (Ref: [1] [2] [3]), and I bet if programmers really wanted use this sometime in the future.

Thanks! That's quite a few characters :). I'll add it to the backlog.

I'd argue for math symbols independently of APL, e.g. I sometimes write simple math into text files for note-taking. Although it does work (because the font uses a fallback AFAIK), it sometimes looks really bad compared to other fonts, which is why I am currently merging the missing symbols from other fonts manually. It would be nice to get inbuilt support for that.

Examples for math symbols I frequently use and are missing from Cascadia include ∀ (U+2200), ⊂ (U+2282), or ± (U+00B1)
