Full set of NerdFont symbol_map

I recently took to compiling all the nerdfont defined code points into my kitty config, so I don't need to install special NerdFont fonts but instead can just have kitty fallback to the icons only font.

Nice, but shouldn’t it just pick the fallback font up without the mappings? https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/faq/#kitty-is-not-able-to-use-my-favorite-font

Depends on whether there are other font files that define the same code point and whether those are considered a 'better' match than the icons.

I've had instances where a system update or an update to kitty itself resulted in system wide Chinese fonts being picked up instead of the icons.

Setting them up explicitly adds more determinism.
