Issue

U+2260 (≠) is included in the font on fonts.google.com, but not included on the files here at GitHub.

It also looks incorrectly rendered. The slash is too long. It looks very different from its Noto Mono and Noto Math counterparts.

The character is also not rendered at all in italics in Noto Sans and in regular and italics in Noto Serif on Google Fonts.

Both are the same version: 2.015.

    Apparently, it actually is included in both, but handled differently by each font. Copying and pasting U+2260 (≠) into the Google Fonts version works fine and fails in the GitHub version. But typing U+003D (=) and U+002F (/) will combine to form U+2260 (≠). Although I can not figure out a way to make it happen on purpose. I only found it by chance when moving around "=/" in Illustrator.

    That's due to Unicode decomposition.

    U+2249 (≉) also has a strange shape with the skinny long slash:

    I also noticed the equal sign is a different size when used in other glyphs:

    They're also noticeably lower than the equals sign.

    Noto Math for comparison:
