But how do people make these? I searched online and the best I could find were small Japanese communities still using MS Gothic (which is metrically incompatible with Arial/more-used fonts) and halfhearted JPG-to-ASCII-bitmap converters.
Further, how do people manage these? I’d imagine an emoji search, but these millionfold emoticons don’t have names; and the other alternatives are “I’ve got a meme for that scrolls down infinite camera roll” or searching them up every time.

I don’t think, there’s a special trick to making them. You can look at existing kaomoji lists and pick out individual symbols to create the shape that you want.
Or you can combine kamojis. For example, maybe you want a cat handing over a flower, but you want it to look sad, like an apology.
Then you find a sad cat kaomoji:
And combine it with the kaomoji you posted:

As for managing them, I usually see tags assigned to them. On the webpage that you posted, it’s the little text boxes below the kaomoji.
But in its simplest form, you could have a text document and just write a few words above each kaomoji, like e.g. “sad cat flower”. Then if you search the text document with Ctrl+F for “cat”, this will be one of the results.
