I think the variable font from there is already included in the release zip here inside the web folder and somehow not include character from the static one since I got a few tofu with the variable and no problem with the static. I need to use the android specifically

The Android static versions include characters which are not in the other fonts (this came up in another issue recently).
But it may be possible to tweak the build scripts to add those characters to the variable font.

Because you want a variable version of the condensed font with those missing characters - is that correct?
What specific characters are missing?

Also, have you tried Roboto Flex?
It has a condensed axis available and may have your needed characters.

Yes, that's what I meant. I need to use it for my phone, I don't like the default font cause its too wide and take up too much space. I know about Roboto Flex but the default instance for that font is wide and not condensed, I don't know how to configure or build the scripts for the condensed font
