The Japanese android vendor keyboards do seem to be generally much more polished than google's effort, although the latter is ok for basic Japanese input.
The main issue with conversion-based emoji seems to be discoverability.... Besides those reflecting basic concepts, there are tons of odd or intricate emoji that you'd never even imagine existed unless you saw them first; even once you know they exist, figuring out what input maps to them is at best a crap shoot (I've never found any way of getting the input system to tell you)....
- hrktb 12y agoAbout discoverability, when you start being a heavy user, the next step is to have custom entries in the user dictionary. It's almost mandatory for 2chan style smileys[0] with 7 or 8 characters in a row, and it also helps for obscure characters, emoji or not (there was a time "girl moji"[1] was a thing, with every letter splitted into 2 or 3 parts. I can't imagine that thing working without having all the letters in a user dictionary).
