They’re not emojis, at all. Emojis are pictures with a very specific and limited set. They’re ascii characters.
You calling them emojis is “grandma calling your Xbox a “Nintendo Station”” level dumb.

It does make it less funny when someone tries to politely correct and is wrong vs belligerently doing so with inaccurate information though.

You really didn’t have to add dumb at the end there. We all make mistakes, and this emoji can also be interpreted and implemented in pretty different ways

Those aren’t standard ASCII characters. They are Unicode. They are closer to emojis than anything else.
