Public bug reported:

I have a Logitech Mechanical Mini keyboard, and two characters
guillemotleft («) and guillemotright (») that previously worked by
pressing [right alt]+[z] and [right alt]+[x] does not work after
upgrading to Ubuntu 24.10. The special key is set to default.

I'm using Solaar, but there are no rules that should interfere with
those keypresses, and it doesn't matter whether that app run or not.

Some random testing seems to indicate that it is only those two
characters that are missing, but the testing isn't extensive.

The characters guillemotleft and guillemotright are also called
"sjevroner" and "anførselstegn" in Norwegian, and they are said to be
the correct quotation marks in published papers. [Norwegian Wikipedia:
Anførselstegn](https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anf%C3%B8rselstegn)

The layout is reported as expected by the "keyboard layout" (tecla) app
that opens from the accessability menu. Ie. menu in top right corner of
the desktop. The same happen both in "Norwegian" and "Norwegian (no dead
keys)". The same characters are in use in "Danish", and they are
included on keyboard layout, but does not work.

They keys as such work as expected (zxZX), but I can't test with other
keyboards for the moment.

A workaround is to use the sequence [compose][<][<] and [compose][>][>],
but I wonder whether that is well known.
