Now, thankfully, insane folk like @sqpat@oldbytes.space have ported DOOM.. yes, the full version of DOOM to the 8088 real mode architecture.
The question is if that herculean effort can accommodate the code bloat that translating to emoji will inevitably entail.

The relentless LAHF opcodes are just really, really annoying too. AH is a rather important register to have continually trashed, although we can pretty easily set it to either 00 or FF via CBW. Also I checked ... the INT 10h instruction CD 10 to even change video modes does not appear in any of the 3,945 emoji i searched. We would have to generate the code for it and jump to it. with emoji.
