∪ and u look too similar

[singularitti]

Love this font! However, found a little bit unsatisfied with ∪ (the symbol for set union in mathematics) and u. They just look too similar:

The intersection symbol (∩) and n are distinguishable:

Is it possible to increase the size of ∪ and ∩ to make them more noticeable? Thanks!

JetBrains Mono currently not supporting this characters. I believe they are from your fallback font.

@singularitti Can you send examples when ∪ u can be mistaken in context. I believe the context of usage will leave no place for mistake.

Here is a link to similar request. There is some info on u construction. #212

In the Julia language, they allow using unicode operators to express mathematical calculations. `` means union in set theory.

julia> c = [1,2,3]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 2
 3

julia> p = [2,3,4]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 2
 3
 4

julia> c∪p
4-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 2
 3
 4

So c∪p means "the union of c and p". In real-world, this example may never happen, though.

I like “u” with small tail, it is more distinguished of “union” sign and letter “v”.

One more reason is letter u looks similar to Greek mu (μ) and used to sign prefix “micro”. E. g. 10 ms for ten milliseconds, but 10 us for ten microseconds.

I like “u” with a small tail too for it is more fit to my(and maybe most people's) habits, without the tail make me to take more time to think 'what letter is this' but it seems that the designers put without the tail as a selling point.

Aded the support of ∪. Its differentiated from u by size and width.
If you still want it more different please wait for release of alternate set with u.
