  "github_readme_excerpt": "![Cascadia Code](images/cascadia-code.png)\r\n\r\n# About Cascadia Code\r\nCascadia is a fun new coding font that comes bundled with [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal), and is now the default font in Visual Studio as well. \r\n\r\n# Font Variants\r\n-  `Cascadia Code`: standard version of Cascadia\r\n-  `Cascadia Mono`: a version of Cascadia that doesn\u0027t have ligatures\r\n-  `Cascadia (Code|Mono) PL`: a version of Cascadia that has embedded Powerline symbols\r\n-  `Cascadia (Code|Mono) NF`: a version of Cascadia that has Nerd Font symbols\r\n\r\nFor the italic, there is a standard `italic` and a `cursive` variant accessible via `ss01` (see [below](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/blob/main/README.md#to-enable-the-cursive-form-of-the-italic-heres-the-code-you-should-use)). \r\n\r\n# Font features\r\n![Coding Ligatures](images/ligatures.png)\r\n\r\n![Arrow Support](images/arrow_support.png)\r\n\r\n![Stylistic Sets](images/stylistic_set.png)\r\n\r\nEnabling stylistic sets will [vary between applications](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki/How-to-enable-stylistic-sets). For example, in VS Code, you can enable stylistic sets (and other OpenType features) via `settings.json`:\r\n\r\n```\r\n\"editor.fontLigatures\": \"\u0027ss01\u0027, \u0027ss02\u0027, \u0027ss03\u0027, \u0027ss19\u0027, \u0027ss20\u0027\"\r\n```\r\n\r\n#### To enable the Cursive form of the italic, here\u0027s the code you should use:\r\n```\r\n\"editor.fontLigatures\": \"\u0027calt\u0027, \u0027ss01\u0027\",\r\n```\r\nIf you\u0027re using an environment that does not support the `ss01` OT feature, one option to consider is [opentype-feature-freezer](https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/).\r\n\r\n# Character Sets\r\n![Cascadia Code](images/cascadia-code-characters.png)\r\n![Cascadia Code Italic](images/cascadia-code-italic-characters.png)\r\n![Symbols for Legacy Computing and other block elements](images/cascadia-legacycomputing-characters.png)\r\n\r\n# Installation\r\n\r\n**You can download the latest version of Cascadia Code from the releases page here:** [https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/rel",
