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.

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.
