Description

@Tyriar

VS Code issue showing bad rendering when rendering the glyph from the font: microsoft/vscode#163000

We should support custom rendering of e0b8 through e0bf powerline symbols:

Code pointer:

/**
* This contains the definitions of the primarily used box drawing characters as vector shapes. The
* reason these characters are defined specially is to avoid common problems if a user's font has
* not been patched with powerline characters and also to get pixel perfect rendering as rendering
* issues can occur around AA/SPAA.
*
* The line variants draw beyond the cell and get clipped to ensure the end of the line is not visible.
*
* Original symbols defined in https://github.com/powerline/fontpatcher
