Yes, that's true, and they've been a constant source of problems for Unicode ever since the decision was made to let them in. They stand in violation of Unicode's declared principles and purpose.

Note that 囍 is not considered an emoji by the Unicode standards, though that's what it is in fact.

> Who on the earth write emoji by hand or even spoke it?

But there is an example of this - the name of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Heart_Huckabees [wikipedia title uses the word "heart", but the actual title uses the symbol] was frequently spoken aloud.

I think the problem of emoji are more about they are in extended plane and they are colorful. The 'utf8' in sql assume we will never use extended plain and we actually used, which is the cause of former problem. Some of the chinese characters are also suffer from the form problem. And a lot of old system just can't draw the symbol in other color because it is designed prior to the exist of emojies.
