The iOS and I believe macOS emoji picker let’s you use any language to search for emojis. ハート brings up hearts for example.

But you have to switch to that language first.

For example on my iPhone if I type in Norwegian and jump to emoji then I can type “hjerte” and find the heart. But if I type “heart” then there are no results when the language is Norwegian. So if I want to search for emojis by English name, then I must first ensure that my keyboard is in English. And this is good I think, but wanted to point it out.

On my phone at least (latest iOS) it will search any installed keyboard languages.
