There are several user reports about the SME speller not working in iOS since version 16. I can confirm that it still does not work in 16.1.2. Other languages work just fine, like SMA, SMJ and CRK.

Could it be memory related? SME is by far the largest memory consumer.

A user has submitted the following feedback:

Har store problemer med det samiske tastaturet på chromebook, når jeg skriver i online word đ første gang går det bra, men đđ går ikke og etter å ha prøvd er det vanskelig å få đ igjen til å fungere.
Underlig for her i mailen var det ingen problem. Tegnet ' kommer opp istedenfor đ.
Har avinstalert og reinstalert 3 ganger med samme problem.

Ie:

• đ can only be typed once, then it switches to another layout (?) giving ' on the same key
• happens only in Word (web/online version)
• works fine in the mail app
• has deinstalled and reinstalled 3 times, to no avail

Someone with a Chromebook should try to reproduce. @albbas @bbqsrc ?

These keyboards give no output for SHIFT-E02
sme-NO, sme-FI, sme-SE, smn, olo

These keyboards give correct output U+0022 ("):
sju, smj, sms, rmn, krl

Despite the error, the source code for all the 5 flawed keyboards do contain the missing U+0022, here e.g. line 21 in keyboard-sme/sme.kbdgen/layouts/se-NO.yaml, a pert of the macOS shift keyboard definition

        § ! " # $ % & / ( ) = ? `

I have not installed or checked more than these 10 keyboards. The error seems to be outside the source code.

Addition: Also ampersand (&), U+0026, key SHIFT-E06, is missing, on all the 5 keyboards having the missing quotation mark. Keyboards having quotation marks also have ampersands.

I am wondering whether keyboard settings in the control panel (I have Ventura 13.2) could affect the issue, but those settings are keyboard-independent and do not explain the 50/50-behaviour of my 10 test keyboards.
