U+0192 ƒ in CascadiaCode-ExtraLight, -Regular or -Bold, is currently designed as a figure-height f with a hooked descender, it is shorter than f. In italic styles, It is not constructed as other letters.

Besides being encoded for the florin currency symbol or the function symbol, it is also encoded as the lowercase letter used along the uppercase U+0191 Ƒ in a few languages like Ewe, Avatime, Waci and Lelemi spoken in Benin, Ghana or Togo. These languages use it as an ascender-height f with a hooked descender.

See the current roman U+0192 ƒ next to U+0066 f, where their height do not match:

U+0192 ƒ should instead match the height of U+0066 f in the roman styles.

See the current roman U+0192 ƒ next to the proposed U+0066 f:

The current italic U+0192 ƒ is appropriate for those languages but has hooks that are more curved than those of j or ſ. Additionaly the redesign of italic U+0066 f shown in #468 (comment) would make U+0192 ƒ and U+0066 f hard to dinguish as the only difference would how curved the hooks are or the slant of the stem slant.
This could be avoided with a straight descender or a flared descender instead of the hooked descender for U+0066 f.
The design of the italic U+0192 ƒ could stay the same but would be more appropriate with a stem on the same slant as other glyphs and the descender and ascender hooks as j and ſ.

U+0192 ƒ should be constructed like other letters, and U+0192 ƒ and U+0066 f should be identifiable and different.

It would be nice if U+0191 Ƒ, U+0189 Ɖ, U+0256 ɖ were in the fonts as most characters needed for those languages (including ƐɛƆɔƔɣŊŋƲʋ) are already present.
