Emoji
It goes without saying that you should use a font that incorporates emojis. On this wiki we can access to DejaVu (Twemoji Mozilla is not incorporated in the distribution).

Symbols
Symbols are named graphical or typographic elements. They can be divided into symbol sets, which gives some namespace independence, as well. You can load the symbol definitions from a symb-bla file with:
\usesymbols[bla]
Given a symbol Snowman defined in a symbolset Weather Symbols in that file, you could typeset the symbol with:
\setupsymbolset [Weather Symbols] \symbol [Snowman]
Or, alternatively, you don't need to load the entire symbolset:
\symbol[Weather Symbols][Snowman]
You can override the existing symbols used at different levels in itemized lists by redefining the existing symbol numbers, with code like the following:
-
\usesymbols[mvs] \definesymbol[1][{\symbol[martinvogel 2][PointingHand]}] \definesymbol[2][{\symbol[martinvogel 2][CheckedBox]}] \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \stopitemize \item item \stopitemize
