I found that OS renders emojis of emoji-picker, but actually it is inserted into editor as a picture.

In Windows and Edge (from MacOS virtual machine)

Yes, it seems the issue is the emoji picker uses the user's system's default emoji font, while the composer uses Twemoji.

Custom emoji picker that uses emojis available in Elk is in development. It is a complex task, so it will take a while.

Yes, I think for now it makes sense. Even though emoji set can be configured, it is not trivial to switch yet, so I doubt anyone would change them.

When all emoji stuff will be ready, including configurable sets and emoji picker, it can be switched to new code.
