Bug description:
NOTE TO SRU TEAM
================
Please accept the glib2.0 SRU first. To enable the new feature to work best,
I have added a Build-Depends (which results in a Depends) on the new glib
version.
Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 43 series
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters/-/blob/43.1/NEWS
This adds one new feature: new emoji and Unicode characters from
Unicode 15.
Test Case 1
-----------
Install the update
Open the Characters app.
Select an emoji character and click Copy Character
Paste the emoji somewhere.
You should see the emoji you pasted.
Test Case 2
-------------------
Open the Characters app.
Use the search feature to search for "moose"
A moose emoji should show up. This is one of the new Emoji 15.

(This is Test Case 3 (Extra) from https://launchpad.net/bugs/1999098)
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
GNOME Characters is part of GNOME Core and falls under the GNOME Stable
Release Update microrelease exception
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
It is installed by default in Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Budgie.
Other Info
----------
Unicode 15 enablement was granted a User Interface Freeze Exception for
Ubuntu 22.10: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1989626
glib and gnome-characters are the only 2 late pieces that the Ubuntu
Desktop team plans to SRU for Ubuntu 22.10.
