since HN doesn't allow emoji I can't post an example. without this feature what you copy in slack would be
text <img src="happy.png"> text
instead of
text (@) text
where (@) is actual utf8 emoji
same for vscode/Monaco where the editor adds a clickable color box for css colors.

In any case, I would gladly give up the ability to copy-and-paste an emoji if it meant never again seeing a long line trying to link me to some website just because I had the audacity to copy three words from a news article.
