Bug description

I would like to have emoji support in Signal Desktop. I believe that not being able to sent emojis is a drawback, it limits your ability to properly describe a feeling/emotion.

Signal Desktop can only display emojis sent through a phone, but they are way too small, I also would like to request to increase their size.

Platform info

Operating System: Debian Stretch
Signal version: 1.0.35

Sending emojis has been supported for a long time (see #86 (comment)).
Jumbo emoji is a duplicate of #1693.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I'm talking about having a dedicated button, where a menu pops up and I can browse every emoji available, like the Android app. Typing the name of the emoji is far from being pratical.

@drakofrost then that would be #194, which has already been added and will ship in the next release or so.

@nrizzio Sorry I didn't found it in the search. But that's what I'm looking for, it's nice to know that it's being developed.
