@feditips @weirdwriter ... And even then this will not fare well with strings of emojis.
Thus I'd say you should only use emojis in a way such that the text does not rely on them to convey meaning. Emojis should be something you can filter out without loosing meaning.

For example the emoji you have given is described as "smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes". Any other meaning will need to be specially mapped by the screen reader.
