Gboard combined emojis support #1516

Google keyboard on Android devices has a feature where it can send emojis as images. This feature is supported by Messenger and WhatsApp as well as Discord and is quite handy when trying to express multiple emotions simultaneously. After testing on RiotX, it seems like it doesn't support this feature sadly. While this is by no means a high-priority feature, it might be a cool thing to add to make Riot more feature-full. Here are some screenshots to show what I mean:

In the current version (1.4.0) Element does support it. This seems to be ok. Screenshot_20220217-113041_Element

In the current version (1.4.0) Element does support it.

They do work, but get sent without an alpha channel but instead with black background. They'd probably also make more sense as a m.sticker message than m.image.
