Currently, there is no visual indication
for when the user is searching for an
emoji nor is there an easy way to clear
the input field after the user's search
Our change proposes to add a small magnifying
glass icon to the right hand side of the
search input bar which becomes an x delete
icon when the user types in the search input
bar.
The x delete icon is tabbable and will clear
the search input field with the return (enter)
key, spacebar, and mouse click. The
magnifying glass icon is not tabbable.
The new emoji data for Unicode 10.0 has changed the category names. Both
the script to build the data.js file and the SVG icons in the picker
have to be updated to reflect that.
