Handling Japanese new era "令和 (Reiwa)"
Hi,
I've noticed that Japan renews its era from 平成 (Heisei) to 令和 (Reiwa)
(U+32FF) at 1st May and it's necessary to update some packages to deal
with it.
> To Release Managers
How do we handle with it for buster? (and stretch?)
> Folks
Some packages list to be updated as far as I know
Please let me know if you've noticed more

- mozc (IME) [3]
- libreoffice [4]
- openjdk [5]
- icu [6]
