With the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS you can use emoji on Ubuntu right out of the box 👍, so you already have everything you need for the native GTK Linux apps like Gedit, Corebird, Rhythmbox, Geary and Terminal (Source: OMG Ubuntu). All you have to do to access the emoji picker in a native Linux app is right-click in a text-field and select the “Insert Emoji” option from the context menu.
This picker pop-over lets you:
- Browse emoji by category
- Pick from recently used emoji
- Search for emoji by name
- Click on an emoji to enter it
The emoji picker even works on other Linux distros & desktops besides Ubuntu, including Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu Budgie.
Sadly the emoji picker doesn’t work everywhere 😞. You won’t see the option provided in non-GTK apps, like Firefox, Wire Messenger, Chromium, or LibreOffice.
If the app you’re using doesn’t have that option, please file a bug, like the one for gedit.
For more background info browse to Ubuntu Community Hub.
For non-GTK apps like Firefox, Wire Messenger, Chromium, or LibreOffice, you can use the GNOME Shell Extensions Emoji Selector:
Another option is to install the GNOME Characters app to easily browse emoji.
Optionally, you can enable emoji search in the Activities Overview by using the Settings app. Just open Settings > Search and turn on Characters.
If you are not on Gnome, this Emoji keyboard is simple but effective. You can find more information on the virtual keyboard-like emoji picker app (plus an installer) over on the project Github page.
There might be an answer to an earlier question that still works for you.
- In Ubuntu 19.04 (and later): GNOME 3.32 adds emoji input to the on-screen keyboard, it should make it easier to reply with a well-timed emote from a touchscreen device.

@SushantChaudhary Option 1, 3, 4, 5 probably work, 2 only with a GNOME desktop.

For #3 is there a way to disable searching (from Activities view) other characters that aren't emojis? usually searching for something brings me an Arab character or the old emojis (like this one ☺) not the color ones
