Add emoji keyboard layout into android app Hacker's Keyboard #44
There is an awesome screen keyboard app for Android called Hacker's Keyboard (F-droid, GitHub, Play Store). Unfortunately it lacks emoji. We need a new separate layout dedicated to emojis. There should be several groups, i.e. faces, tools, animals, etc. Some characters should be usable as modifiers, i.e. a man + a tool = a man having that job, or skin color modifier. So on the tools palette there should be a modifiers keys like shift. A tap changes the kind of modifier, a hold activates and deactivates. The keyboard should support font adjustment because emojis look different in different fonts.
