Why go to a website at all? Emoji pickers should be integrated into the OS I’m pretty sure both Windows and KDE plasma do this natively.

Because you’ve still got people who go onto Google when they need a calculator

It's more powerful than the one in Windows and faster than installing a third-party one. Also it does unit conversions.

  1. I haven't seen a built in picker for multi-character emojis, like the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (on OSX and Android)
  2. Sometimes the description I'm thinking of and the picker text doesn't line up, but I'm not sure if Google's picker will be that smart.

I think the windows emoji picker has ascii emojis but yeah it's missing from the others. If it's only a couple you can add them to a shortcut or pin them on your clipboard.

#1 is more ascii art than an emoji, but that could be a cool thing to integrate into a picker—customizable ascii text that you can search by keyword.

It exists on the iOS keyboard! (In Japanese) ( ^ω^ )

Although, it’s not customisable

HeliBoard on Android also offers the ascii emoticons
