I agree that having some glyphs in color can be bad, for example when you are typesetting a formula in TeX that contains emoji, the color looks just unprofessional. As a solution, let me introduce you to the Noto Emoji font: https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji

As a developer, I feel absolute pain for the people who had to convert these. There's quite some edge cases and sensitive topics to dodge here, and doing something wrong might piss people off. They must've had some lengthy meetings about a few emoji.
