DESCRIPTION

       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.
