Useful starting points include country flags, other flags, and subdivision flags. Those subcategories break the large category into smaller tone or topic clusters.
Use the category page when you know the broad branch you need. Use a tag page when you are thinking in a plain word like love, thanks, or sarcasm.
Yes. That is one of its main jobs: it gives you a focused comparison set before you open the individual emoji detail pages.
