This doesn't seem consistent, but it might be a problem with just some
flatpak and/or snap and/or deb packages. (This comes from a similar bug
2041008)

- gedit (the old Gnome editor) as flatpak lacks Guillemets
- gedit (the old Gnome editor) as deb has Guillemets

- Text Editor (the new Gnome editor) as flatpak has Guillemets
- Text Editor (the new Gnome editor) as deb has Guillemets

- TextPieces as flatpak lacks Guillemets

- Chromium as snap has Guillemets
- Firefox as snap lacks Guillemets
- Vivaldi as snap has Guillemets

This could perhaps indicate that there are something going on with the
runtime environment for flatpak and snap packages.

Title:
  Missing characters on keyboard under Wayland

Status in wayland package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a Logitech Mechanical Mini keyboard, and two characters
  guillemotleft («) and guillemotright (») that previously worked by
  pressing [right alt]+[z] and [right alt]+[x] does not work after
  upgrading to Ubuntu 24.10. The special key is set to default.

  I'm using Solaar, but there are no rules that should interfere with
  those keypresses, and it doesn't matter whether that app run or not.

  Some random testing seems to indicate that it is only those two
  characters that are missing, but the testing isn't extensive.

  The characters guillemotleft and guillemotright are also called
  "sjevroner" and "anførselstegn" in Norwegian, and they are said to be
  the correct quotation marks in published papers. [Norwegian Wikipedia:
  Anførselstegn](https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%B8rselstegn)

  The layout is reported as expected by the "keyboard layout" (tecla)
  app that opens from the accessability menu. Ie. menu in top right
  corner of the desktop. The same happen both in "Norwegian" and
  "Norwegian (no dead keys)". The same characters are in use in
  "Danish", and they are included on keyboard layout, but does not work.

  They keys as such work as expected (zxZX), but I can't test with other
  keyboards for the moment.

  A workaround is to use the sequence [compose][<][<] and
  [compose][>][>], but I wonder whether that is well known.

  [addendum]

  Usually I never use Wayland, but due to upgrade to 24.10 I got Wayland
  as default. Seems like this anomaly only exist in Wayland, because
  when I switched back to X11 the keyboard layout was as expected.

  Under X11/Gnome I get the following

  ```bash
  $ localectl
  System Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8
                 LANGUAGE=nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:en
      VC Keymap: (unset)
     X11 Layout: no
      X11 Model: pc105
  ```

  ```bash
  $ setxkbmap -query
  rules:      evdev
  model:      pc105+inet
  layout:     no,no,dk,us
  variant:    nodeadkeys,,,
  options:    compose:rctrl
  ```

  Under Wayland/Gnome I get the following

  ```bash
  $ setxkbmap -query
  WARNING: Running setxkbmap against an Xwayland server
  rules:      evdev
  model:      pc105
  layout:     us
  ```

  Given that I'm understand this correctly libinput is using evdev, so
  setxkbmap should give the same, but it does not? (Yes, I've seen the
  warning.)
