Ejimo

Given the increase in many technology users’ awareness regarding the privacy-related compromises they often have to make to enjoy free services that lack an optional paid tier sans data-tracking features, open-source alternatives have gained traction in the past few years. For their lesser known counterparts that ship without support for emoji pickers, Ejimo should come in handy.

While many users often prefer a comprehensive application that provides them with the most essential features out of the box, chances are that developers have to prioritize bug fixes over implementing extra functions, especially when it comes to smaller one-man projects powered by passion for the community.

On top of that, programs that seek to accomplish a single specific goal tend to incorporate more functionalities, depending on the scope of the app. For example, Windows’ default Clipboard shortcut that acts as a hub for inserting symbols and GIFs seems to be missing a dedicated resizable window, which is where Ejimo comes into play.

Once downloaded, the app greets users to an elegant interface that organizes Windows’ stylized emojis into multiple context-based groups for those seeking to send more accurate reactions to their peers on instant messengers. On top of the quintessential smiley faces, a variety of extra symbols can be found in the form of Braille patterns and ideographs to fit more niche needs.

Clicking on a symbol also displays the Unicode code chart for further development usage. Resizing the window maintains the large clickable button sizes for users with touch-screen monitors, making for an accessibility-focused experience. Depending on your current theme, the program’s color palette can be toggled manually from its top-placed function bar.

Harboring over 3000 symbols that go beyond Windows’ default offering, Ejimo’s external emoji collection may be the right choice for those seeking to streamline their workflows and use a single symbol source for their online communication needs.
