The `M-x emoji-insert' interface here is strictly better than what I see
on my phone (which is presumably state of the art).  Perhaps we could
add arrow keys/TAB/C-n/C-p/etc.+RET navigation, though that would just
be the cherry on top.

I did notice that there is a noticeable delay when using the command for
the first time.  Is that expected?

In addition to "C-g", perhaps it would be good to give a standard key
like "q" the meaning "go back to the previous screen" and maybe "Q" to
mean "I changed my mind, close everything and insert no emoji"?

One final observation is that it would be nice if we could click the
emojis to insert them, on all screens (including the overview ones).

BTW, when I insert this emoji "🧙🏿‍♀️" and then hit DEL repeatedly, the
buffer text first turns into "🧙🏿‍♀" and then "🧙🏿", and then "🧙🏿"
and then "🧙".  Is that a known issue?
