This honestly reminds me how on skype (for business) or Lync, where people would type strange messages to me that I didn't understand, but in skype/lync apparently it was transformed into a thumbs up emote; I was using pidgin/sipe which didn't do this. I'd say for the most part, at least Emojis generally work everywhere I need them and I even get the hatching representations in most VT100-like emulators. the worst case I've seen is some of my environments cannot handle the modifiers, which honestly doesn't matter. I can see the symbols and reconstruct what they mean myself.
