I have been having problems with Emoji picker on 3 different Windows Server 2022 Datacenter(OS build 20348.2340) remote desktops.

When i press windows key + . the emoji menu don't show.

I have tried the following:
CTFMon.exe
Enable the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service(set to automatic)
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TabletInputService" /v Start /t reg_dword /d 3 /f
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\Settings] "EnableExpressiveInputShellHotkey"=dword:00000001

Anyone got any other ideas what i can try?

    We have same issue since migrating our Citrix RDS servers from 2019 build 1809 to 2022 build 2108.
    The emoji menu appears, but we can't insert selected emoji into a word document for example.
    No eventlog entry no error message appears.

    As workaround you can use the screen-keyboard to insert emojis:
