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.
