Mondegreen is the word that describes a misheard lyric. We really could do with a word that describes a misseen emoji.

@gdr So you're looking for some #emoji picker to work with #X11? Allow me to suggest my own pet project, #Xmoji!

github.com/Zirias/xmoji

X11-only, minimal (IMHO) dependencies, no "toolkit" and plain C implementation. It doesn't need to call any external tools like x11-emoji-picker does. I also intend to resume work on it, a few features are still missing.

In case you like it, I'd appreciate contributions, like for example new translation files, or some package builds (currently only #FreeBSD, #NetBSD and #NixOS exist).
