Title:
  Emoji should not be a separate keyboard

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  New
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The primary use of the keyboard switcher is switching languages.  But
  Emoji are used in every language.  They are like symbols, and you
  don't type symbols by switching to a different keyboard.  Rather there
  is a separate button on the keyboard for switching to symbol entering
  mode.

  Having emoji on a separate keyboard means a) monolingual people still
  need to figure out how to use the keyboard switcher and b) bilingual
  people have to deal with three keyboards rather than a simple toggle
  switch (see Bug #1520889).
