How about "emoji-categories" (or "emoji-groups") instead of "emoji-insert"?

Interesting. Is it common to include two identical commands so close to each 
other, e.g. in the same key map, or on the same "key path" (so to speak), such 
as "C-x 8 e"? I ask because with "which-key", it instantly looked like a bug to 
my eyes, for some reason. Then, I wonder if browsing by categories should map 
to the most convenient "e e" option. I would expect people to use "recent" and 
"list" much more often. (I asked my kids, and they say they would use 
"emoji-search" mainly.)
