### Known issues
There is a known issue concerning some GUI application which do not receive the correct emojis
when auto-typing and instead a bunch of empty unicode squares.
It seems to be an issue with `wtype` and may need to be fixed upstream.
Unfortunately, `wtype` is the only stable wayland typing backend to my current knowledge.
Until `bemoji` supports more typing backends on wayland, a workaround seems to be to save the
emoji to the clipboard and have a typing tool paste the contents of the clipboard directly,
like the following:
```sh
bemoji -cn && echo key ctrl+v | dotool
```
The issue is tracked at [#34](https://github.com/marty-oehme/bemoji/issues/34).
