A good reminder to stop using gboard. Others have pointed to alternatives. Heliboard is another FOSS option that's had this for years.

I wish Heliboard was usable, but it has so many small but show-stopping bugs or omissions.

I know, I know. Should fix it myself and do a pull request. Hopefully one day got time for that, like fixing the over-scaled emoji picked (that breaks kaomoji due to the scaling) or the lack of a search box there. It's easily the closest FOSS keyboard to the big two (Gboard and SwiftKey), so with a bit more work it could really compete with them I feel.

Really? I've been using Heliboard (as a replacement for florisboard) and I have had literally no complaints works just as well as gboard did for me. I 100% recommend Heliboard I think its 10/10

Does it not, for example, have weirdly oversized emoji in the picker on your phone and this breaks the kaomoji?

I do not care about them tbh. All the emojis I've tried are fine, but I don't use the kaomojis.
