From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
1.5.29-rc2 was tagged on 9 Nov 2023 [1] and in did not contain "N_("CJK Unified Ideographs Extension I")," in src/ibusunicodegen.h [2].
Commit 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae from 28 Feb 2023 introduced this change instead. It's the same person who tagged 1.5.29-rc2 and committed 228f0a77b2047ade54e132bab69c0c03f0f41aae which is typically an indication the maintainer tar'd their checked out git folder and accidentally included changes not get committed.

The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.
But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.
After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182
The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...
Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

[Steam Gaming] - Player keeps moving in one direction even when direction key not pressed
Have no idea what the daemon does practically, here is the GitHub page.

Fedora 38 Beta Released
The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.
- Missing keyboard events with X11 (inc. Wine) with ibus 1.5.28

Introducing the common input method
Also, to add to what u/Pizza-Driver said, it seems that ibus is not yet interoperable with the protocol used by Wayland display servers based on wlroots.

What does "Super+." do?
I meant ctrl+., but it looks like ibus recently changed their emoji input shortcut back to super+., so the gtk emoji picker should be available via ctrl+. again without requiring changes: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575
-
Disable Super+Period default behavior
Looks like it was changed here: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/1520c39d0d6036da725fcecd932883be3f3d3575

Typing on Japanese in i3wm
You may run into some issues with you locale settings being screwed up by fcitx since, I suppose, you are probably using a russian locale. So you might want to check out this issue. https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx/issues/454 Now, for the fcitx installation. It is not intuitive and you should probably check out some step-by-step tutorials on youtube.

- Terminology で日本語入力

Traditional Chinese characters
Because fcitx has been put in maintenance mode now, it's not a bad thing if it works stably.
What are some alternatives?
fcitx5 - maybe a new fcitx.
