I think that the emoji input method should be a separate input method, so that most users would have the choice between inputting using the keyboard layout that matches their keyboard, and a separate input method for emojis.
Are you talking about something like ibus-gucharmap?
The IBus XKB engine is not discoverable (it's not listed in GNOME's Region & Language settings) and the keyboard shortcut to input emojis is also not discoverable. Having a separate input method is likely the better way to implement this.
