  Why go to a website at all? Emoji pickers should be integrated into the OS I’m pretty sure both Windows and KDE plasma do this natively.

    Because you’ve still got people who go onto Google when they need a calculator

      It’s more powerful than the one in Windows and faster than installing a third-party one. Also it does unit conversions.

    1. I haven’t seen a built in picker for multi-character emojis, like the ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (on OSX and Android)
    2. Sometimes the description I’m thinking of and the picker text doesn’t line up, but I’m not sure if Google’s picker will be that smart.

      #1 is more ascii art than an emoji, but that could be a cool thing to integrate into a picker—customizable ascii text that you can search by keyword.

      I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it’s missing from the others. If it’s only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.

  Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard

  Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does

  So…

  Instead of sending you to the website in question and monetizing the creator thereof, GOOG has found yet another way to directly and blatantly steal the content from the creator.

  Don’t be Evil is such a laugh-riot these days.

  Fuck Google and everything that’s theirs.

    Their AI and their quick answers, like taking Wikipedia articles, definitely steals content from creators.

    But is this stealing content from creators? Or does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions?

    If it’s the latter then I say it’s fine. That’s like complaining Duckduckgo’s search result of a calculator takes away views from calculator.com. Calculator.com and emojipedia.org don’t own the patent to online calculators or description of emojis with a copy function.

      does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions

      Betting they don’t. They don’t need to if they can successfully steal from other sites.

  Oh, great…just what we need - more fucking emojis everwhere. How have we all survived so long without something like this.

  Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !
