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.
