SYNOPSIS

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.
