### Bug Fixes

- `ExternalLink`: Add `wp-exclude-emoji` class to prevent Twemoji from replacing the arrow icon ([#75538](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75538)).
- `TimePicker`: Fix date parsing for years below 1000 by implementing ISO 8601 compliant year formatting with zero-padding ([#75343](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75343)).
- `Text`: Remove `text-wrap: balance` fallback. Only `text-wrap: pretty` is now used ([#75089](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75089)).
- `RangeControl`: support forced-colors mode ([#75165](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/75165)).
