It doesn't - you have to choose the style yourself, by customizing the
smiley-style variable.
The patch does not change the default value of smiley-style, it just
adds yet another option for the user to choose.
I could have presented it better: what I was trying to say is that now
that Emacs can present unicode emoji in colors (which I understand is
due to harfbuzz), this option can be a useful alternative to
representing smileys with color images, to achieve the desired effect.
Best regards,
Adam
