Probably very efficient once > you can the system, but for something that you don't use all the time? 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. > Do you know an example input method that has a lot of variants? 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.
