Fun project, thanks for sharing!

On Gnome there is the "Characters" application which is pretty handy. I do want to make a few improvement to search, but otherwise it's pretty good. You copy the unicode character to the clipboard and can then paste it wherever you need.

If you run Gnome it's probably already installed. If not: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-characters

KDE/Plasma comes with a Emoji selector. It usually can be launched with Super+.

There's also a gnome-based app called Smile: https://github.com/mijorus/smile

Neat, thanks for sharing! This just replaced "Characters" for me.

Seems really well done, and most importantly the search works well and it has "recents". I do wish it wouldn't automatically close itself after clicking/copying an emoji, but I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good :-)
