Is there any tool that helps choose Emoji to paste into the current document or program? Similar to the Emoji picking keyboard that appears in Android or iOS.

I know this question is very old, but I've also been interested in this matter for a while, so I've developed a simple emoji picker tool for Ubuntu.
The main issue with this approach is that you need to paste the emoji where you want it after choosing it.

With the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS you can use emoji on Ubuntu right out of the box more details here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1045916/1017209 – SL5net May 02 '22 at 13:44

You can use pro emoji keyboard (or emojiselector) at http://emojiselector.com. They issued extension for Chrome, Opera, Firefox. This emoji keyboard is very cool with real feeling when typing.
