ibus-emoji - Call the IBus emoji utility by IBus
Emojier
/usr/libexec/ibus-ui-emojier [OPTION]...
IBus Emojier provides a GUI to select an emoji by typing an emoji
annotation or choosing a character with mouse click and it's designed to
work as an extended IBus lookup window using Space, Enter, and Arrow keys.
The text entry accepts an emoji annotation or Unicode points. If IBus panel
is launched, IBus panel calls IBus Emojier with a shortcut key or the right
click menu and output the selected emoji on the previous focused text on an
application. If IBus panel is not available likes GNOME desktop, You can
still use ibus emoji command to launch IBus Emojier and it saves the
selected emoji in your clipboard and you can paste the emoji by a paste key
likes Control-v.
Refer emoji section in ibus (1) for the command line
options.
