Unless you're referring to a different font repo they had?
In Google Timer is goneI see a November 2018 release announcement.

In Banish missing glyphs with Unifonthttps://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts How about this link? Seeing as the 4 Noto packages get pretty frequent updates in the Arch repositories, I think it’s being updated frequently. When compiled and stored on a transparent compression disk, it also doesn’t take a lot of space. Unable to check right now, but I would imagine like 200M total on NTFS or btrfs.
In Banish missing glyphs with UnifontThere's also google's rather excellent Noto font (available in all languages!)

In Get the FontAny idea how to get it to work in Windows, particularly MS Word? There appears to be a bug: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/1273
When you select Noto Sans in Word, you end up with Arial. If you change the font color you can get the correct letter shapes but the spacing is still set for Arial, which looks incredibly bad.
In Why are tech companies making custom typefaces?The claim of full coverage of 110,000+ characters (they are targeting Unicode 6, apparently) appears to be false: Noto Sans CJK covers approximately 30K characters[1], while as of Unicode 6.0 there were 74,614 CJK Unified Ideographs (calculated from [2]).
Edit: Using a script I made to check codepoint coverage[3] I get 63,639 codepoints with glyphs defined for all Noto fonts included in their default download (Noto-unhinted.zip).

See iverg's comment on the github issue: https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736
EDIT: To be clear, parent is technically correct. The problem is with the way "web fonts" is working, the actual 'font' is the same across both, just the web fonts are having fun.
In Google Noto FontsYes they are unique characters. I went to some pains to ensure I used the word 'key' as in physical switch on a keyboard. However I did not go far enough in ensuring I was referring to the font package as opposed to the font, please accept my apologies.
It is the font package, look at iverg's comment on the github issue https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/736
here are screenshots with local font installed http://i.imgur.com/ycRs3A0.png
