Great Plugin with Smooth Integration
Thank you for the plugin; it integrates very well with the block editor. It has an icon search feature, which I find essential, and I haven’t noticed any load on the website. PD. I would prefer if the toolbar icon were black and white to match the rest of the elements, but that’s a matter of personal taste.

Wow - works great! Plug & play!
I was looking for an easy way to add an emoji tool to the block editor for a client and came across this. Installed & activated in seconds. Works great! Will definitely use this again. Thanks to the developer for sharing this handy tool! pk
