'Emoji' is usually combined with verbs that describe communication. Typical phrases are: 'ein Emoji schicken' (to send an emoji), 'ein Emoji senden' (to send an emoji), 'ein Emoji verwenden' (to use an emoji), or 'mit einem Emoji antworten' (to reply with an emoji).
Er hat mir auf meine lange Nachricht nur ein Daumen-hoch-Emoji geschickt.
He only sent me a thumbs-up emoji in response to my long message.
Emojis are a feature of informal digital language (chats, social media). In formal texts such as job applications, business letters, or academic papers, they are normally not used.
In einer E-Mail an deinen Professor solltest du auf Emojis verzichten.

An emoji can add emotion to a message and often appears at the end of a sentence. But it can also stand alone as a short answer or reaction.
Wir sehen uns später! 😉

sticker
Both words refer to digital images used in chats to express feelings or reactions.
