You can add the Fira ligatures to any font with [Ligaturizer][1]. Personally I use CMU Typewriter + the Fira ligatures.

You can also use Ligaturzier to add ligatures to fonts that don't have them. My goto is consolas + ligatures.

Those are known as ligatures. Ligatuerizer[0], which copies Fira Code’s ligatures into any font, may be of interest.

One can copy ligatures between fonts: https://github.com/ToxicFrog/Ligaturizer
That would remove my primary objection to Input. Seeing a broken arrow -> is ground glass in my eye; other font subtleties are a sign to me I'm losing focus.
