I thought erroneously, that I could use the text command to print out an
emoji. But apparently not.

So, what is this used for?

Are we talking about OpenSCAD? I don't see any emoji in
the edit menu. Maybe some strange font doing fancy stuff?

Share a screenshot?

ciao,

OpenSCAD http://www.openscad.org version 2016.11.06 (git e8ebf1c)

what its for either).

I believe those menu entries have been added by another program.
Maybe a screen reader, speach-to-text, accessibility software??

Jerry,

These are standard menu entries in most OS X apps that offer text input.
If you use a font which can render unicode symbols, you can use these symbols in OpenSCAD designs,
e.g. text("♛", font="Arial Unicode MS”);
