Cannot fix keyboard layout switching.
Recently, I installed fcitx5 for something unrelated (Japanese input) and it magically fixed the issue. Whatever keyboard layout I have set will be universal across my machine. However, it created another issue where I can only switch my layout when I'm focused in a text box somewhere. Been trying to fix the problem for days now reading countless wikis and forums. Only other person I could find with the same issue was here, but I had already been using their solution since I started using fcitx5 (and obviously still have the issue).

Can't figure out keyboard layouts
I had already been using the method described as the solution here since I installed fcitx5. I'm really at a loss here. I have no clue how keyboard input works under the hood and I've been reading wikis and forums for days trying to figure out how this stuff works.

How do I use custom keyboard layouts from ~/.config/xkb
To allow use swaymsg to change the layout by fcitx is still a todo-task. https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/438

Pinyin (Chinese text) looks aliased on Wayland
Also, have you seen this github thread, https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/issues/263
- fcitx5 doesn't work in qt applications

Fcitx5 has now a Wayland launcher
libexec/fcitx5-wayland-launcher was added recently. It's probably better to use this to start Fcitx from Sway's config or a user systemd service (wanted by sway-session.target).

How would I represent č̭?
On Linux with the default keyboard handling by XKB this is currently not possible. I have submitted an enhancement request for the project: https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/317

How do I use custom keyboard layouts from ~/.config/xkb
After play with the idea a little bit more, I think another issue that pervent kwin from working is due to https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/issues/308

Question about input libraries in zig
I think XKBCommon supports Wayland (it even supports evdev I think). It’s on the website: https://xkbcommon.org

Just installed i3 on debian and keybindings arent all working. Changing it in the config does not affect.
i think the problem is that you capitalized semicolon. you need to use the names in this file: https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/blob/master/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h minus the XKBKEY prefix
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fcitx5 and libxkbcommon you can also consider the following projects:
ibus - Intelligent Input Bus for Linux/Unix
keyd - A key remapping daemon for linux.
