About this application

Emote is a Linux emoji picker that opens as a popup for inserting emoji into other applications. It is designed around a small selection window rather than a full messaging or note-taking environment. Users can bring up the picker, browse or search for an emoji, and choose the character they want to use in text fields, chats, documents, or other places that accept Unicode emoji.

The program is limited to Linux and focuses on emoji entry rather than broader symbol management. Its role is to reduce the need to copy characters from web pages or remember system-specific input methods. Emote is published by Tom Watson and is distributed under the GPL-3.0-or-later license.
