I don't see this as still relevant in today's times. For Emoji, you can just Unicode (which covers a huuuuge number of use cases), and for stickers and the like you can use image sharing via XEP-0363, which is already implemented in yaxim.
The latter only lacks support for animated gifs, inline video and direct pasting from modern keyboard apps.
Adding support for getting custom emoticons in XMPP using XEP-0231: Bits of Binary, as done in Pidgin. https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5627
