Wait, I thought the goal of it is not to write emojis per se but rather use the shortcodes. That way, it's readable even when emojis cannot be rendered and it even makes search easier. So a typical commit message would read like that:

`:bug: Fix login modal`

It doesn't break anything and when interpreted (github, gitlab, gitkraken, etc...) it displays a nice looking emoji.
