I'm not trying to suggest screen reading is easy, but the billions of dollars Google invest are not comparable here as they obviously do a huge range of things and the reader tools need to do a much narrower range. This came up at Halloween with all those pleas not to post tweets heavy with emoji due to the issues with screen readers. I get the concern, and I'd typically do my best to be inclusive with personal content and compliant with accessibility on professional content, but there is a balance to be struck - we don't need a Procrustean restriction on what are now reasonably established forms of communication, what we need is for screen reader efforts to step up and work in these cases. It may seem a challenge (especially for legacy coded readers) but other posters already linked to basic solutions that can help on the fonts and this isn't beyond the wit of human ingenuity. This is an opportunity.
