Document complete list of stylistic sets and character variants #1203
Description
Ever since the first stylistic sets were introduced in 2.0, I've maintained a table stylistic sets in my editor settings so I can preview font differences when selecting stylistic sets. With the upcoming 6.0 release, there's two additional stylistic sets and 30 character variants. It would help if the new ones were documented in the README with "on" and "off" variants.
I had issues describing i, l, and the various less than/greater than combinations. I also don't know the name of the Prolog :- and Clojure .- operators.
I have also wanted to see a specimen sheet of all characters in the font. Trivially, a-zA-Z0-9 are not pictured. Are other characters not pictured?
