Currency symbol fix #902
Description
Inter has no glyphs for the three official Gulf currency signs, so prices in SAR, AED and OMR render as tofu. Given how widely Inter is used as a default UI face, that gap shows up in a lot of products serving the Gulf, and the usual workaround — pasting vector artwork inline — breaks bidi, text selection, screen readers and Intl.NumberFormat output.
I've drawn all three signs for the family, built to the published central bank guidelines (SAMA, CBUAE, CBO), with scaling and spacing derived from Inter's own cap height and existing currency sidebearings, and stroke weight measured per style from Inter's stems so they track the weight ramp correctly.

Adding a data point in support. U+20C4 OMANI RIAL SIGN was accepted by the UTC on 2026-01-22 for Unicode 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html). The Central Bank of Oman's typeface-designer guidelines and reference artwork are at https://cbo.gov.om/omrsymbol. Products that use Inter for financial UI are currently shipping single-glyph web fonts for this code point as a stopgap, so native coverage in Inter would let those be retired.
