hope this works for you, enjoy 🖐 you can now see emojis in Twitter, Youtube and anywhere they are used
there are currently two emoji pickers that you can use to select and insert emojis in content. not perfect either. EmojiOne Picker which installs and works decent but the .desktop file places it in Other category and doesn't have an application icon working. you can edit your /usr/share/applications/Emojione Picker change
Icon=comix
or any icon you like and add this to the bottom to put it in the accessibility category Categories=Utility;Accessibility;
if you manage to get this installed, here'a a more recent picker https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/emo ... -app-linux
