Yes, that what I meant by wired shapes (the slants are sometimes
different from similar slashes in other fonts).

If you search for 02216 glyph, you will see there is a variant glyph in
STIXVar.otf, if you think that variant should be the default I can do
that and make the current one available as an optional glyph variant (I
think I should check the rest of the STIXVar.otf font too, it was on my
todo for a while now).
