If you know difference between Char,NChar and varchar,Nvarchar then its easy to understand.Some datatypes designed to support especial characters like you question.
ex:DECLARE @Emoji TABLE(A NVARCHAR(500),B VARCHAR(500));

INSERT INTO @Emoji(A,B)
SELECT N'Hi friends😘', N'Hi friends😘';

SELECT * FROM @Emoji;

The database will store whatever you pass to it. When you read it back and display it you need to recognise that it is an emoji character, and select the appropriate font for display.
