As far as I know, the width of emoji is aligned with ideographic 
fullwidth pretty much everywhere. So the question "why not use U+3000?" 
is almost certainly going to pop up.

Also I wonder if it is an emoji at all. It could be interpreted as an 
emoji without visible glyph outlines, but it could also be considered a 
regular whitespace character that has the width of an emoji.

Line break behaviour perhaps?
