That could be adapted; the question is if the approach as such is
desirable or not. This is necessarily a moving target, at the rate
that emojis are created and added to Unicode.
My personal feeling is that something simple and perhaps imperfect
as my one-liner that may miss some corner cases would be ok, but
anything that saps more performance or is complicated would not
be worth the effort.
