I'm not sure, but there might be an RFC expanding on that
definition to include usage of UTF-8...and indeed,
one GNKSAI newsreader (pan) includes the
ability to insert an emoji in its editor.
Wrote about this back in March in alt.fan.usenet:

One can also use emojis on an xfce4-terminal. I think most modern terminals >> will render them. The Linux tool "gnome characters" is helpful for
copying emojis to the clipboard, if your newsreader is older.
