I feel like this could be done via the built-in text expansion shortcuts (prefs>keyboard>text). Like *wai expands to 'praying hands emoji'. (I just tested it, this works.) Also as others have noted, cmd-ctrl-space opens the Character Viewer, which lets you search the entire unicode space, including emoji, for characters. Hit the gear at the upper left and do 'customize list' to pick just which sets you like, I have never actually had a need to type 𓂀 but who knows what the future will bring?

Yeah the keyboard preference map does work in a similar fashion! However I came into few problems with it that are rather minor but bugged me nevertheless: 1. It enters the text and _then_ replaces it which for me is really distracting. 2. It has this little pop up even for a single option which is also very distracting. Maybe it's my niche use case but I type and read a lot and I prefer the input to stay visually minimalistic to not tire myself out.
