I think the ideal interface to enter emojis would be to have: 1. a "recently used" list, 2. a search field in which you type something to describe the emoji you want, like "pig", which displays a list with the "pig", "pig nose" and "pig face" emojis, 3. and on the elements of these two lists, a way to select one of its variants.
