With regards to [1], that was a very unfortunate regression[2] of a widely advertised[3] feature of F25 that was immediately broken in F26. :( I don't really see the value of unicode entry when I can't easily type unicode characters on a standard US keyboard. I'm sure it will be useful to some, but restoring GNOME functionality for ibus-typing-booster would be a much more useful feature, so that unicode characters (including emojis) can be searched for using a standard US keyboard layout in a convenient interface.
