Main problem with "emojis" is that they live outside the basic multilingual plane, and so make bad utf-16 handling really obvious. This is a blessing in disguise, because it acts as a no-brown-m&ms thing, since it's more unarguably broken than not being able to use cuneiform, or musical symbols.

Yeah, point; I probably should have said something more like "emoji shouldn't have alternative meanings, so they should work if your unicode support is functional (which is a big caveat)." On the bright side, yeah, emoji have been great at pushing things to handle unicode nicely and act as a... I dunno, natural fuzzing case?
