The display support is in v28, the handy interface for entering them
is v29 (although Lars did talk about packaging that for v28). In the
interim, you can use something like this:

(with-temp-buffer
  (activate-input-method "latin-prefix") ;; the input method has to be 
triggered for `quail-package-alist' to be non-nil
  (let ((quail-current-package (assoc "latin-prefix" quail-package-alist)))
    (quail-define-rules ((append . t))
                        (";)" ?😉)
                        (":]" ?😬)
                        ("8)" ?🥴)
                        (":|" ?😐)
                        (":/" ?😕)
                        (":(" ?😠)
                        ("X)" ?😵)
                        (":{" ?😦)
                        (">)" ?😈)
                        (";(" ?😢)
                        (":D" ?😀)
                        ("O)" ?😇)
                        (":)" ?🙂)
                        (":C" ?😼))))

(or you could define a completely separate "smiley" input method.)
