Fun AutoHotKey abuse: Tom Scott's emoji keyboard[0]. It's every single emoji (at the time of recording) on 14 full keyboards with 1,000s of hand-placed bespoke stickers. He goes into more detail here[1], but it's beautiful. [0]: ▶ this video [1]: link
Or if editors swap ***, :fediverse:, etc. for it automatically. There's no* emoji keyboards, but people use emoji all the time. * Well, there is, but there isn't a widely available consumer product ▶ this video
So you just litter your desk with about a dozen emoji-ized keyboards like Tom Scott did (as a stunt) ▶ this video
