Dear Tagoh-san, One of the recognizable subset would be the set to interchange original "emoji" used by legacy Japanese cellarphone. However, I don't think recent emoji pushers do not care about this subset. To consider other new emojis, should we ask for the comments from Unicode (or ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2) experts, to define the subset to judge whether the font is sufficient to use to display emojis. Also I'm interested in that fontconfig is expected to pick the font supporting color glyphs, and/or, supporting VS to display existing symbols with emoji- style.
