Sometimes these vendors no longer exist, or have be bought by another comany that has have stopped any earlier developments and supports for their legacy systems. Then it just remains a community of users that will have documents or data to adapt to the newer standard: they'll try to "guess" some best fit mappings so they can still use these data and encoded documents that remain in their archives (and not always in an easily printable form such as PDFs). However the most important documents to save are unlikely to contain emojis, which are basically used in interactive talks between individual users that have not archived them (and probably don't want these talks to be archived for long, if we consider that most of these talks are private).
