What if I am using a device that doesn't support emojis? wouldn't I need to learn the code for each emoji I have used in a password?

That's a good question, and yeah, I guess you'd either avoid using emojis or accept the fact that they're not universally supported.

Having said that, some people use non-ascii characters in their passwords, such as Œ which is a valid letter in some alphabets, and they'd run onto the same issue.

Yes

But how many modern devices don't somehow support emojis though?

And how many of those you need to enter a password in?
