Screenshot 1 -- English (US, intl., AltGR Unicode combining) under "bqn" code

SUMMARY

I have been using "English (US, intl., AltGR Unicode combining)" layout variant since Plasma 5.2X. Just now I wanted to do the same setting in a new machine with Plasma 6. I found somehow the layout variant was no longer under "us" label/country code but under "bqn" (see Screenshot 1).

When I clicked on Preview, the previewer complained it failed to load the keyboard geometry (see Screenshot 2):

Keycodes above 256 (e.g. <I256>) are not supported by X and are ignored
Error:            No Symbols named "intl-unicode" in the include file "bqn"
                  Exiting
                  Abandoning symbols file "(null)"

"bqn" appears to be written in the "Display Text" field. This is a text field that lets you choose a custom label for the keyboard layout.

Cannot reproduce on Plasma 6.3. I think this was an issue with the layouts variants in the extra XKB registry file.
