How do I use normal emoji’s in scratch?
Most emojis don't work on Scratch. This post explains it pretty well:
Let me tell you about Unicode.There is, however, a small selection of emojis that do work. These emojis are listed below, as provided by @CST1229 here.
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.

How do I use normal emoji’s in scratch?
Also, a not very known trick: You can use ANY Unicode character (including emojis) in a project's notes and credits/instructions (nowhere else AFAIK) with a trick, although it's kinda complicated to explain.
—
You can put a Unicode character in a project's notes/instructions by doing "&#x[hex code of the character];". For example, # will type a # hashtag.
The characters will only be visible once you click away from the textbox.
To use out-of-BMP characters (so most emojis), you have to find the character's UTF-16 encoding. You can find it on this website by entering a single character in the search box at the top and scrolling down to “UTF-16 Encoding” on the character's page. For example, for the flushed emoji it's “0xD83D 0xDE33”.
The “D83D” and “DE33” in the example are the character's separated codepoints.
For each codepoint, type "&#x[codepoint];“, WITH semicolons and without any spaces separating the codes. For example, for the flushed emoji the final codes would be ”��" Make sure to either not click away from the notes/instructions while entering the codepoints, or type it in a separate text editor and paste it when you're done so Scratch doesn't try to convert the characters before you're done.
If you did it right, the codes should turn into the emoji when you click away from the textbox!
Note that when you modify the instructions/notes after the codes got converted into the emoji, it will turn into a ? so you might want to save the original (with the codes) somewhere else.
