I'm aware there are multiple input types that force different keyboard layouts on mobile devices. Is there an input type or other attribute that will force the input to open to emoji keyboard on focus?
I don't believe there is, as emoji is technically another language keyboard. But I'd love outside validation to make sure this is the case.
To open the emoji keyboard dialog, start by typing the “:” character, and then the name of the emoji (“smile” for example). You can then navigate the dialog that opens with arrow keys and the return key to select the emoji you need.
In Microsoft apps such as Notepad or Word, or in the Edge web browser, press Windows key + ; (semicolon) or Windows key +. (period) to open a window that will allow you to insert an emoji, kaomoji or special character. For emojis, click on the smiley face and then on the category – People, Food and plants, etc.
Insert emojis, GIFs, and symbols with the emoji panelDuring text entry, type Windows logo key + . (period). The emoji keyboard will appear. Select an emoji with the mouse, or keep typing to search through the available emojis for one you like. For more ways to express yourself, choose from GIFs and Kaomoji too!
You can't for now, there was an issue on github about that : https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/495
