Yes that is correct, specific glyphs follow assignment of the text span (by
Paragraph Style) they fall in. 

The Unicode are locale/language neutral and mostly fall in the Unicode
"Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs" (1F300-1F5FF), "Emoticons"
(1F600-1F65F), and "Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs" (1F910-1F9FF) all
from the Unicode Supplemental Multilingual Plane SMP, with a few common glyphs
taken from "Miscellaneous Symbols" (2600-26FF) and "Dingbats" (2700-27BF) from
the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane BMP

And, thinking a bit on it, some measure of control by locale could be achieved
by adding common fonts with Emoji coverage to the font substitution lists in
VCL.xcu. But, we'd still need to extend ODF and now specify font assignment for
LATIN_EMOJI, CJK_EMOJI, CTL_EMOJI in the config and then handle it internally
in VCL.

But which font(s) and would it really matter. 

Ultimately fallback selection is dependent on user's installed font collection,
or their os/DE support by locale. LO would lack any granular control. 

In fact we stopped delivering font to support Emoji and dropped our own Emoji
picker as os/DE support had improved.  

Just not seeing much of a requirement to try to localize font use for Emoji.
