Whatever we may think of Emojis, many people find them a very useful
tool for communication.  So I agree with Eli that they belong in
"textmodes" rather than "play".  Or perhaps "mail" or "net"?  But also
consider that we could just put them in the top-level "lisp" directory
together with a lot of other random stuff.

BTW, morse.el is an outlier in the "play" category, IMO.  I don't know
why it was put there when rot13.el was not; rot13.el is a more obvious
candidate for "play" as it can really only be used for joking around,
while morse code is a serious and useful tool for communication.

(I'd be in favour of "git mv lisp/rot13.el lisp/play".)
