This would be nice to have if one cannot see the screen when picking
an emoji. It might also make typing faster for everyone, see below.

Example: Shrug Emoji

This has a bunch of variants via composition.

But the newer variants aware emoji interface nets you a lot more, e.g.
🤷🏼

Requests:

1. Could we surface the composition name in the transient choices?

Oh, variants...  no, that's true.  I guess there should be a text
interface for that, too.  Shouldn't be hard to add.
