So…
Instead of sending you to the website in question and monetizing the creator thereof, GOOG has implemented yet another way to directly and blatantly steal the content from the creator.
Their AI and their quick answers, like taking Wikipedia articles, definitely steals content from creators.
But is this stealing content from creators? Or does Google have their own list of emojis with corresponding descriptions?
If it’s the latter then I say it’s fine. That’s like complaining Duckduckgo’s search result of a calculator takes away views from calculator.com. Calculator.com and emojipedia.org don’t own the patent to online calculators or description of emojis with a copy function.

Betting they don’t. They don’t need to if they can successfully steal from other sites.
They have the code built in to their keyboard and their messaging app just in case you switch keyboards.
It would be easier looking in to their own internal company files or databases than to parse information from a website even if they are really good at that.
HeliBoard on Android also offers the ascii emoticons

I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it’s missing from the others. If it’s only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.
Idk about emoji, but other obscure unicode symbols would be very useful. You wouldn’t believe how often one needs the alchemical symbols for the 4 elements !

Don’t be Evil is such a laugh-riot these days.
Fuck Google and everything that’s theirs.

Those websites didn't create the emojis.
They’re still monetizing off the website that GOOG has now rescinded the need to visit…
Whether they are the actual creator or not is irrelevant.
It’s the theft of monetization that is relevant.
Oh, great…just what we need - more fucking emojis everwhere. How have we all survived so long without something like this.

That’s… Actually vaguely useful.
😱 💩
Why go to a website at all? Emoji pickers should be integrated into the OS I’m pretty sure both Windows and KDE plasma do this natively.
#1 is more ascii art than an emoji, but that could be a cool thing to integrate into a picker—customizable ascii text that you can search by keyword.
It exists on the iOS keyboard! (In Japanese) ( ^ω^ )
Although, it’s not customisable

Because you’ve still got people who go onto Google when they need a calculator
It’s more powerful than the one in Windows and faster than installing a third-party one. Also it does unit conversions.
Windows + . to bring up emoji keyboard
Various Linux DEs have emoji keyboards too, I know KDE does
2x Fn on MacBooks
