I have seen many scratchers use emojis in comments, however, they are just deleted when I try to type them. I am wondering where people get these emojis, and why they work vs. other emojis.

Ps. I know about forum emojis, but that's not what I am talking about.

Let me tell you about Unicode.
In short terms, Unicode is the thing that computers use to tell each other “this character is this, and this emoji is displayed like this”

Scratch doesn't support Unicode beyond a section of Unicode, the “Basic Multilingual Plane”, and sadly, that means most emoijs.
So lo and behold, most emojis don't work.

Ah, I see. But what about emojis that I have seen people use, like the laughing cat emoji and the scratch cat emoji?

Extending on this, here's a list of Unicode emojis that do work:
