Control command spacebar will open this character viewer to insert Emojis ⚠️ , math¹⁵ symbols, etc.

By double clicking your selection, it is easy enough to insert your emoji of choice.

You might want to mention that the shortcut for getting the Character Viewer can normally be seen in every app next to Edit > Emoji & Symbols
