Description

@nvdaes

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Emojis can be announced as complete words, but spelling them is not supported.

Describe the solution you'd like

When the review cursor is placed on an emoji, a gesture may open a dialog showing the words corresponding to the emoji description, the same announced by NVDA, so that they can be reviewed with speech or using a braille display, or copied.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The description may be provided by pressing 2 or NVDA+. twice, but this could be a concern for people with mobility issues.

Additional context

Emoji descriptions is not shown in Speech Viewer, so this dialog could be especially useful. If this is marked as wontfix, we could try to include this feature in the Emoticons add-on, developed by @Christianlm and others.
