Each symbol of the 11 characters in the plus code is in base 20. There are about 2500 emojis, meaning that you can encode 2 symbols from the plus code with one emoji (20*20=400, if you try to encode 3 symbols, it becomes 8000, which is way more than the current emoji count). So that would become 5 emojis, instead of 11 characters, which in my opinion would look quite nicer.
