If anything, an emoji is easier to search for, as less things would be using it than a general "warning" (or whatever would make sense, as the emoji'd thing isn't the warning itself). Do have to get a copy from somewhere to search for though. It's also much easier to "visually" search for it.

At least in the blog there are a two spaces after the emoji so it can freely draw past its boundaries rightwards without colliding with anything for a good bit; and nothing to its right is used assuming monospace alignment. So at worst you just get a half-emoji.
