  • The requested variant shape does not go too far away from Iosevka's design.
  • The requested variant does not conflict with any characters in Unicode that Iosevka currently supports.
  • At least two monospace/programming fonts, created by different designers, supported the requested variant. Provide images below.

I think that two current variants of less equal and more equal looks pretty same, they stand out very much from the rest of the characters due to their too large horizontal size. The request is to create an additional version that will be more compact for these two ligatures, that is, it will take up less space horizontally, but more vertically, which is similar to following ligatures in the other fonts. Thus, the ligatures will become taller, but less wide, and for the shape of the sign less or more, the angle of intersection of the lines will become larger, closer to 40-45°, now at first glance there is about 30°. Ligature for equality is shown here to compare its size with these two ligatures.
