Description
Created attachment 85286 uses "Macedonian" in symbol names
In the keysymbols file the six Macedonian letters are defined like so: #define XK_Macedonia_gje 0x06a2 /* U+0453 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GJE */ All other definitions use the adjectival form of the relevant language, like "Ukrainian", "Serbian", "Georgian", "Armenian", ... I think it should be "Macedonian" too. The first patch makes this change, deprecating the old forms.
The second patch removes all the currently deprecated Cyrillic key symbols -- they have been deprecated since Xorg began in 2003.
The third patch undeprecates the Arabic_heh key symbol, and deprecates the Arabic_ha one instead. HEH is the primary Unicode name for this letter, HA the secondary name.
However, if the secondary names of Unicode letters are the preferred names, then a different patch would be needed: also the Arabic_feh and Arabic_yeh would need to be deprecated in favour on the (new) Arabic_fa and Arabic_ya, as those are the secondary Unicode names for those letters.
