Here is the best implementation of emoji dropdown list in Gmail that has ALL the emojis with category icon links/tabs on the top that serve as quick links to jump to its category on clicking them. We can still scroll to the next/previous categories continuously and the category icons on the top highlight automatically (2-way) as we scroll. No need to hide any categories using CSS as the jump links can quickly jump to a category and continuous scrolling still works as usual.
Without these category link tabs, it would be a scroll-fest with suboptimal UX.
Please try it out in your Gmail and its better UX and consider implementing the category links/tabs in emoji dropdown.
