## What it is
Rofimoji is a Python-based emoji and Unicode character picker that integrates with rofi, wofi, and other dmenu-like selectors on X11 and Wayland. It offers fuzzy keyword search, recently-used tracking, clipboard copying, direct insertion, and support for custom character files.

## Use cases
- pick and insert emojis on linux
- search unicode characters by keyword
- copy special characters to clipboard via rofi
- insert kaomoji or nerd font glyphs
- emoji picker for i3 and sway
- remember frequently used characters

## When to choose
- you use rofi, wofi, or a similar dmenu selector on Linux
- you want a fast, searchable emoji/unicode picker on X11 or Wayland
- you need custom character sets beyond emojis

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI emoji picker outside of rofi-like launchers
- you are on Windows or macOS
- you need emoji picker inside a rofi mode with direct typing (limited there)
