keysym-utf: reject out-of-range Unicode codepoints in xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}
It used to be UTF-8 was defined for inputs > 0x10FFFF, but nowadays
that's the maximum and a codepoint is encoded up to 4 bytes, not 6.

libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose and dead keys.
See Quick Guide.
libxkbcommon is built with Meson:
meson setup build
ninja -C build
To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:
meson setup build \
-Denable-x11=false \
-Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
-Dx-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
ninja -C build
While libxkbcommon’s API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.
See the API Documentation.
libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig
The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale data.
See Compatibility notes.

Many thanks are due to Dan Nicholson for his heroic work in getting xkbcommon off the ground initially.
