Apparently, Apple employees never check what these things sound like when just 
using VoiceOver. I did the 3 finger quadruple tap to copy what it was saying 
and pasted it into a note to then try spelling it out letter by letter. It is 
spelled the same as before: e m o j i.
It seems to be saying something like a combination of emodican and the old word 
emoji together.
So, if you want to change its pronunciation, you could add it to the dictionary 
under VoiceOver, Speech, pronunciations. I substituted a g for the j so it says 
emogi, which is still slightly different, but only two syllables at least.

I'd also write Apple Accessibility and tell them you want the old pronunciation 
back.

My phone upgraded to IOS 11.3 over the weekend.  I noticed today that label for 
the emoticon keyboard is now really strange.  Anyone else seen this?  I wonder 
what changed.  I can’t recall, but I think it used to clearly say “emogi 
keyboard” or something like that and now, while I can tell it’s saying 
something about emoticons, the way it says it is really strange.
