The use of Smilies and Emoji's isn't something that is going to be new to anyone. How easily they are used now is another story.

1) There is an EmojiOne Cheat Sheet here you can refer to for future reference. You'll see, literally, 10's of 100's of different Emoji's available for use.

2A) If you'll click on the Emoji's icon in the Toolbar, you'll see the entire list along with the search options. It's a simple scroll and choose from that point.
2B) In the search area, if you were to enter flag you'll quickly refine your search.
2C) Working on the same idea as the addition of the Markdown syntax, the editor will bring up your options quickly. Using the syntax, if you were to enter
:gri it'll automatically enable a tool-tip which brings up your options. Here's a quick demonstration:

[B]:[/B] followed by a couple of letters, it starts searching the entirety of your emojis and smilies for something that matches and returns you the results. You can then pick the desired smilie/emoji using your keyboard or with a click/tap. This new addition to the features also ties directly in to the "Reactions" upgrade.
