    Message : keysym-utf: replace the Unicode characters for leftanglebracket and rightanglebracket Looking at leftanglebracket - The standard[1] does not specify any Unicode value for it. - The keysym list keysymdef.h in x11proto[2] says U+27E9 MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET in a comment. - The keysym->unicode list in xkbcommon which comes from [3] has U+2329 LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET. - The keysym->unicode list in Xlib[4] has U+2039 SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK.

    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.

    Quick Guide

    See Quick Guide.

    Building

    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

    API

    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.

    Dataset

    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.

    Relation to X11

    See Compatibility notes.
