Well, all you need is to type the ordinal number, how hard is that?
And it isn't like you are going to type too many Emoji in a row.

How many would qualify as "a lot"?  Is 12 enough?

Alternatively, we could have a special command, insert-emoji, which
would just complete your input using the table of all the known Emoji
sequences.  Then you type "constr TAB TAB" and get the list you've
shown in the earlier message.
