Isn't that what user-defined sequences are for? Open the Sequences window, hit the Edit button at the lower left, and in the opening text editor add this at the bottom:
<Multi_key> <m> <a> <s> <k> : "😷" U1F637 # FACE WITH MEDICAL MASK
Save the file, close the editor, then hit Reload and you should be good to go.
(There seems to be a bug where the Sequences window remains unaware of the newly added sequences – even after reloading – despite the new sequence actually working. After restarting WinCompose it does show up in the Sequences window.)
@hobgoblinsmaster assuming you are running Windows 10, you can use the built-in emoji keyboard: simply hit Win + dot and then type emoji description to find the suitable ones: This feature was added to Win10 around 2018, while WinCompose started supporting emoji way before that, around 2015:
$ git log --pretty=%h --reverse --grep=emoji -i | head -n1 | xargs git log -1

Import a list of emoji symbols. No compose rules yet.
WinCompose is great for typing intricate symbols, but having to remember the exact key combo to type an emoji... Meh. Emoji support is just not the strongest side of WinCompose.
On this time of pandemic, this emoji (😷 U+1F637) is more useful than before, it should be shorter to type (maybe something like m a s k).
