feat(isEmoji): checks if string contains an emoji

[jmechn]

Had a look at the other isEmoji functions. One of my initial solutions I found was to use \p{Emoji}, however, it also accepts numbers and other symbols. There were other ones such as \p{Extended_Pictographic} but it didn't seem to work. I found that \p{Emoji_Presentation } worked but some emojis would not return true as they were considered symbols rather than an emoji, for example: ☂, ❤ , ©️, etc. Unfortunately the emoji unicode system is all over the place so I haven't been able to simplify the Regex to only accept the symbols that Emoji_Presentation cannot. Currently, the regex accepts emojis and emojis that are both symbols and emojis.

This is an improvement to #1968 right?

Yes, rather than listing all the possible emojis, the regex takes ranges of emojis. However, the regex definitely can be improved further.

one question that comes to my mind here: What is the purpose for this validator? Does it make sense to check if a string contains an emoji somewhere, or should it rather check, if the supplied string is one (or even several?) emoji characters?

I can see the latter being useful, but I can't really see any practical application for the former.
