This simple input method for [ibus](http://code.google.com/p/ibus/) allows you to enter unicode emoji and other symbols by name.

Dependencies
-------------

Obviously:

- ibus
- python
- the ibus python bindings (on debian/ubuntu: ibus-python)

Less obviously:

- the ibus gobject introspection information (on debian/ubuntu: gir1.2-ibus-1.0)

Installing
-----------

To install, type `make install`. If your ibus isn't on /usr/share/ibus, you might need to edit the Makefile. If you want to install to /usr/local, you need to edit both the Makefile and the xml file. Sorry, for now you have to do that by hand. (Just don't be difficult and install it in the normal location!)

Then restart (or start) your ibus.
Running
--------

Restart (or start) your ibus.

If you have customized your active input methods, you'll need to enable UniEmoji: open preferences (use the indicator if you have it, otherwise open “Keyboard Input Methods” on Ubuntu's dash, or run “ibus-setup”), go to the “Input Method” tab, click the “Select an input method” drop-down, UniEmoji will be in the “Other” category.

Then you probably want to turn it off so you can type normal text.

That's it

This package is dedicated to @MsAmberPRiley who AFAIK isn't even a GNU/Linux user and therefore might never hear of it, but who caused me to detour a Sunday to writing it ;-)
