As discussed in bug 144348, we probably should remove the emoji widget: it has been experimental for so long, and operating systems provide better maintained tools for selecting and inserting emojis. We also has the auto correct and the special characters dialog. That is already too much for such a low importance feature.
Agree.
+1 this widget causes too much trouble for very little gain. In KDE I always use the "Emoji Selector" shipped with Plasma, which works great with LibreOffice.
+1
Presented it at the ESC and no objection to remove.
