Package: ibus-table-emoji
Version: 1.3.9-2
Severity: wishlist
Control: forwarded -1
https://github.com/moebiuscurve/ibus-table-others/issues/15

In modern days, an emoji [1] means a single graphical character which
is part of the Unicode standard while an emoticon [2] means a
graphical token consisting of an arrangement of multiple Unicode
textual characters. This input method is clearly for inputting
emoticons instead of emoji.

I have reported the bug upstream. Before the author makes any changes
with respect to this matter, I suggest changing the package subtitle
to something like "ibus-table input method: Emoticons" and explain it
in the package description in order to avoid confusion.
