That is to say, modernizing Usenet by giving
modest use of emojis a pass.

👍
I understand the purpose, but for me in my text-only Gnus session all
I see is some ASCII escape code-looking gibberish. One could almost
certainly write some Elisp that causes Gnus to turn said gibberish
into something like (guitar) or (smiley) though...

Or at least turn it into something other than "gibberish".
E.g. space, or an otherwise innocuous character.

This is what happens if I run Emacs in Xterm; it just makes an empty
box. I would assume it's just using an escape code to show the emoji;
the Linux TTY doesn't kow what to do with it and just prints the escape
code as plain text, while Xterm is smart enough to turn it into a box.
If I run Emacs in a fully graphical session though, it just prints the
emoji like it should.

I use xfce4-terminal, which understands UTF-8.
(Off topic: one can even have emojis in one's
command prompts and window title strings,
which should all be properly displayed using xfce4
on Linux Mint.)
Additionally, my newsreader (pan) supports inserting emojis
in its internal editor. Yours might also. :)
Live long and prosper. 🖖️

After doing a bit more research, it would appear I have emoji support as
I can run commands like 'M-x emoji-describe', but Emacs just throws an
error, almost certainly due to my highly modified alpha build.
Time to debug some more Elisp...
