Splatmoji lets you look up and input emoji and/or emoticons/kaomoji on your desktop via a pop-up menu.
By default, Splatmoji keepS a list of the ${history_length} most-recently selected entries and show them at the top of the menu.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Escape output (this only affects emoticons). There’s support for github-flavored markdown, json, and site-flavored markdown escaping.
- Languages – With emoji from the included database, it is possible to specify keyword/annotation languages to include in addition to `en`. `nn` for Norwegian, `fr-CA` for Canadian French, etc. In theory this could apply to both emoji *and* emoticons, but the emoticons only come in English currently.
- Skin tones – light, medium-light, medium, medium-dark, dark, and none. This lets you choose specific Fitzpatrick scale skin tones to display for emoji that can be modified by such.
