How to set up BQN keyboard layout on GNOME

Download the XKB configuration for bqn here, and place it whith the other layouts:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlochbaum/BQN/master/editors/bqn
cp bqn /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/

Add an entry for BQN in evdev.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xkbConfigRegistry SYSTEM "xkb.dtd">
<xkbConfigRegistry version="1.1">
  <modelList>
  ...
  </modelList>
  <layoutList>
    <!-- Add this layout entry -->
    <layout>
      <configItem>
        <name>bqn</name>
        <shortDescription>BQN</shortDescription>
        <description>BQN</description>
      </configItem>
      <variantList/>
    </layout>
    ...
  </layoutList>
  ...

BQN should be an available layout in the GNOME Keyboard settings (restart the Desktop environment if it isn't).
