shortName
https://w3c.github.io/miniapp/specs/manifest/#shortname

shortName provides a short and easy-to-read name for MiniApp, and it can be used when there is insufficient space to display the full MiniApp name provided in appName.

The limit on appName is 30 "characters". This is already a short string for some languages. What is the limit on shortName if it is less than this? What is the character set allowed here?

When defining the length limit, bear in mind that some languages require the use of combining marks to form a "grapheme cluster" (a single visual unit of text) and that limits defined in terms of Unicode code points or UTF-16 code units may impose difficulties on these languages.

The proposal is to remove the limits on appName, and not to put limits on shortName either. For now, it's just a string and is up to the developer's discretion on how to populate it, unless the group find special needs to give a length or charset limitation.
See update in #107.

As we agreed to inherit WebApp manifest for these attributes, I believe this issue can be closed. @xfq @aphillips
