Currently IBus does not check the glyphs in fonts.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2024-05-07 07:02:17 UTC
Perhaps it is possible to order by Unicode blocks?

At least in my example all the tofu seems to be
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform
which is not commonly used.

But seems a little tricky to handle.

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2024-05-08 09:34:31 UTC
Well filtering out some Unicode blocks could also make sense,
emoji-picker does that by default:
https://github.com/mike-fabian/ibus-typing-booster/blob/main/engine/itb_emoji.py

Anyway it may be better to move this issue upstream.

As I said many times, I won't take that way.
I think no font characters should be shown since the characters are sent out of Fedora and gucharmap and gnome-characters do the right way.
