The legal term for the glyphs is "typeface" [1]. Last time I looked at this, it also implied that emoji images that are used in a font, for example Apple's emojis, were potentially not copyrightable either, at least when used as text [2] (and not for example, as a UI element or by themselves on a t-shirt). I recall that at the time, Telegram had completely copied Apple's emoji images into their own font, but I'm not sure if they still do.
