- Insert emoticons inline from the emoji picker's custom-emoticon tab
- Use emoticons as reactions (rendered as images in the timeline)
- In-picker search + switch between packs via tabs
- Per-pack usage selector (stickers / emoticons / both)
- Manage globally enabled packs under Settings → "Sticker & emoticon packs"
- Plus the rest of the SchildiChat feature set — see FEATURES.md.

ex_26_7_1.Sticker & emoticon image packs (MSC2545) — new feature:
- Send stickers via a sticker button in the composer
- Insert emoticons inline from the emoji picker's custom-emoticon tab (rendered by HTML clients, shown as
:shortcode:text elsewhere) - Use emoticons as reactions, rendered as images in the timeline
- Search within a pack and switch between packs via tabs in both pickers
