Public bug reported: Justification ------------- Unicode 15 was release September 13. This is an annual release. It's expected that the latest Ubuntu will support the latest stable Unicode release. This is required for compatibility with Internet communications with other platforms that will be quickly adopting the new emoji characters.
The release happened too late for related upstream releases to happen by Ubuntu's User Interface Freeze on September 15 and be packaged. Therefore, I request a UIFe for Ubuntu 22.10 for Unicode 15 packages. More details ------------ Google will be releasing a new version of fonts-noto-color-emoji "later this week" but it looks like it won't be released in time for Ubuntu's User Interface Freeze. We also need to update glib and pango for the new release so that new composite emoji like "pink heart" display correctly. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/2877 There isn't an upstream pango merge request or issue but I think it will be needed. We also need new versions of unicode-data, node-unicode, and gucharmap. There are probably some other minor universe packages that we should sync from Debian if we see they are related to Unicode 15. I don't have packaging ready for these changes yet but I'm requesting the UIFe early. 22.04 LTS --------- We have done SRUs of new fonts-noto-color-emoji releases to older LTSes before. We may do it again but that will be one or more separate bugs.
