Only they do not indicate anything critical. Not everyone has emoji-capable fonts installed.

I used to place emojies in our critical failure message box. Basically I have a list of 'bug' emojies, and would randomly select one to display in the message box.

Ideally no-one except developers ever saw this box, but gave myself a laugh at least whenever our app crashed in a bad way.
