hellloooo #PopOS fiends. How does one type/select emoji on 24.04 #Cosmic!?

I've tried Super + period, Super + semicolon (both do nothing), have checked the shortcuts menu for mentions of emoji (none), have installed the Emoji Mart and later Emote flatpaks (they open but won't enter emoji into any text field - may be an X11/Cosmic issue?)

help!? I am a millennial and I truly need emoji access on my system 😭

oh and I have also tried Ctrl + Shift + E >> Space, as per https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1l2ip9d/is_there_a_builtin_emoji_picker/, which also does Nothing ™️

oh uh I got a partial workaround going, it seems? the Emote flatpak appears to work, AND I managed to assign it a custom shortcut.

only thing is I'd much prefer if the emoji was entered directly into the text field - with this solution, still have to copy/paste the emoji. but at least it's *a* solution!?
