However I think the character icon is the policy of gnome-shell:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Guidelines/SystemStatus/InputLanguage

If you don't add '<symbol>' tag, the default is the two chars from the engine's
language.
The problem is, if you use input method is 'tamil-99' and keymap is 'Tamil',
both icon will be 'ta'.
If you think 'tamil-99' is keymap, probably the default language chars are ok.
But if it's input method in which you often need to disable the IM status,
probably it's better to assign a multi-byte char.

For Fedora 16, gnome-shell-3.1.91-2.fc16, gjs-1.29.17-1.fc16 and
ibus-gnome3-1.3.99.20110817-5.fc16 are required.
Also gnome-shell disables any extensions by default in Fedora 16 so you need to
enable ibus-gnome3 by manual to set gsettings:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ibus_gnome_shell
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/InputMethods#GNOME-Shell

Regarding to the icon size, currently I'd think to fix to install ibus-gnome3
instead of using pygtk2 statusicon on gnome-shell.
