Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 30.0.6

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The meaning of an emoji is not always 100% clear. This issue is not specific to Nextcloud Talk, it also applies to other communication apps. Emojis may look different depending on the operating system, which makes matters worse.

Describe the solution you'd like
The name of the emoji should be shown on mouseover.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Guessing what an emoji actually means. 😆

Additional context
For example, Skype shows the emoji name on hover:

Thanks for the report, quite an interesting task!

It's possible to get this information from emoji library, so technically we can do it:

• That would require upstream changes (e.g. exposing EmojiIndex.findEmoji() or EmojiIndex.emoji(), as we can currently only perform a search in emoji data object (by id - string representation), but not the opposite
• Also EmojiPicker should show these titles in picker itself - also upstream

@Antreesy would you please provide a link to the upstream library/project? I may create a feature requests for the upstream project, too.

Sure, feel free to!

New issue: https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-vue/issues/new
Source code where findEmoji and getEmoji could be added to be used in another apps: https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-vue/blob/master/src/functions/emoji/emoji.ts
Source code for component (have no ideas yet, how to do it, but buttons already have data-title attribute): https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-vue/blob/master/src/components/NcEmojiPicker/NcEmojiPicker.vue

Oh they are all owned by Nextcloud, too. So it's probably better if someone with more insights creates the library-specific feature requests 😁
