That is, kbd:[Multi_key]-kbd:[O]-kbd:[R] are three characters and the sequence could output "®", but kbd:[Multi_key]-kbd:[Multi_key]-kbd:[o]-kbd:[i]-kbd:[i]-kbd:[i]-kbd:[n]-kbd:[t] is eight characters and the sequence was not enabled in `IBus`. With this enhancement, `IBus` buffer size is increased to 255 characters. Additionally, the output of `IBus` was previously only one compose character and the size was limited to 16 bits. That is, "®" is one character and it could be output, but the character "🗼" with a size larger than 16 bits. Consequently, the output was not enabled in `IBus`. With this enhancement, the `IBus 1.5.21` release deletes the limitation of the character lengths and the size is extended to 32 bits. + + +== Noto fonts are now variable by default + +The Noto font family is designed to cover all languages defined in the Unicode standard.
