 - Add constants `MAX_TILE_ZOOM = 25` and `MIN_TILE_ZOOM = 0` as maximum and minimum world tile zoom (Z) values; replace hardcoded instances with those constants.
 - Add functions `isInBoundsForTileZoomXY` and `isInBoundsForZoomLngLat` to check whether a tile ZXY or a zoom+LngLat is in the world bounds; use `MAX_TILE_ZOOM` and `MIN_TILE_ZOOM` in those checks; replace existing hardcoded checks with those functions.
-- Render uncommon Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese characters. ([#4550](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/4550))
+- Render uncommon Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese characters. Prefer local glyph rendering for all CJKV characters, not just those in the CJK Unified Ideographs, Hiragana, Katakana, and Hangul Syllables blocks. Request other characters beyond U+FFFF from the server instead of throwing an error. ([#4550](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/4550), [#4560](https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-js/pull/4560))
