 Used mostly for emojis, but also used for special/unicode characters.
 Usually any input, when focused, a user can press Ctrl + Command + Space
 and a "popup" prompt will show:

 Alternatively a user can access it from the Edit -> Emoji & Symbols menu
 item.

 This is expected for almost everything in OS X, and for a chat application
 in 2015, it's not the best to have it missing.

 **Presently, I am unable to access the popup when using Tor Messenger. I
 have to generate emoji elsewhere on my computer and copy/paste them into
 my conversations.**

 Arguing it's a defect vs. enhancement because OS X is supposed to have
 this available on all inputs, regardless of the developers' intents.
