It looks like emojify strips all spaces after an emoji. I'm not sure it is intended, and if so if that is that desirable.
I discovered the issue by using the :pencil2: emoji, which appears to be wider than most others. As a result, while a :sparkles: emoji gets left-aligned and still display some padding, the pencil one doesn't. To compare:
echo ":sparkles: Three spaces" | emojify
echo ":pencil2: Three spaces" | emojify
