I think that the emoji input method should be a separate input method, so that most users would have the choice between inputting using the keyboard layout that matches their keyboard, and a separate input method for emojis.

I think the emoji typing does not depend on XKB but is used frequently and I don't think it should be separated.
If the engine should be enabled by default for any languages, I think it would make sense that the XKB engines also enable emoji and switching engines would be more cost than switching input modes.
Once this feature is implemented, the translatable annotations also can be implementable for input method engines.
I think other platforms does not separate engines for emoji typing.


The IBus XKB engine is not discoverable (it's not listed in GNOME's Region & Language settings) and the keyboard shortcut to input emojis is also not discoverable. Having a separate input method is likely the better way to implement this.

I replied this.

Except that the way that you'll be implementing this means it's
completely
undiscoverable. I know no one other than those that already use an IBus
method to input a non-latin language that use things like typing booster.

Oh, sorry, I wrote mistakenly "typing booster" above, that was just
a typo. What Fujiwara San is implementing has nothing to do with typing
booster, it is for the IBus XKB engine.

Same applies to the IBus XKB engine. This engine doesn't seem to be listed
in GNOME's Region and Language panel, the shortcut isn't discoverable, and
the
UI for it doesn't match what users expect from their use of emoji on mobile
platforms.


If the implementaion will satisfy users, I also wish to implement to
GtkIMContextSimple.
I agree the undiscoverable point should be considered later.
Maybe a switching radio menu item is an idea?
I don't wish the lookup table by default against the mobile.
I'm not clarified that you pointed the UI which does not match mobile users.
