Missing glyph '\udb80\ude56 '

[yusiwen]

The glyph is viewable on nerd font homepage, but is not in the font.

Hi, the material glyph (nf-md-*) was removed from version 1.0.20 as a patch for the problem that we hit the 65,535 glyph limit.

@jonz94 Thanks for reply. I should find a workaround then.

Maybe you could try an older version as a workaround.

For example: v1.0.5-0 https://github.com/jonz94/Sarasa-Gothic-Nerd-Fonts/releases/tag/v1.0.5-0

This version does include all glyphs provided by nerd fonts v3.1.1.
(Older Nerd Fonts patches didn't have as many glyphs, so we didn't encounter the 65,535 glyphs limit issue back then.)

However, this comes with some compromises:

• It lacks certain improvements and bug fixes found in the latest nerd fonts version.
• Some newer glyphs introduced in later versions might not be available.

I'm still working on finding the perfect solution,
but for now, each method I come up with unfortunately has some drawbacks 😔

@jonz94 Thanks for your advice.
I've found another workaround yesterday, by using the fallback font function in some applications, such as WindowsTerminal and Alacritty(on Linux). The primary font is set to vanilla Sarasa font, and the fallback is official nerd font patched Iosevka. By now, this approach works fine to me, the missing material glyphs in neovim statusline and terminal prompt are correctly rendered.
