It might be worth noting that the emoji in indeed in Unicode.

But since XMPP uses UTF-8 for its data communication, so when you see EE 80 85, it's actually a 16-bit unicode data with value of E0 05 (http://www.rishida.net/tools/conversion/).
And as we've known that emoji range in E0xx, so yeah Whatsapp indeed use the same Unicode standard for its emoji.
