You can work with unicode characters for the emoji. Store the unicode data in db and to show it in UI do some string manipulation like below
a!localVariables( local!emojiData:"\U0001F600", a!richTextDisplayField( value:char(hex2dec(local!emojiData)) ) )
If user wants to add emojis by selecting it in UI then you need to look for any open source emoji API and using that you can have a list of emojis for user selection.

When storing emojis to DB, you have to make sure to set the tables and fields to the UTF8MB4 collation. Then, you can store 4-byte characters. Appian cloud DB is set to 3-byte by default.
