Of all the vomiting emoji in this thread, for whatever reason, this is the one that most reminds me of Adventure Time.
Now you're thinking with portals!
I love the antigravity vomit coming out of the bottom half of the mouth.

For a time these would pop up as suggestions on my google keyboard by typing two emojis, but it eventually dissapeared :/
Anyway,
Apparently it depends on the app or input field. The generated emoji is an image, not a unicode string, so the input must be able to accept inline images.
You can send them to yourself in Signal, for example, then download the image and post it here.

finally
I'll be the sacrificial dumb guy here. Are the posts here just copy/paste, or is there a way to force some emojis together? Secondary question, how do I just type in a Unicode value into my phone keyboard to get an emoji?
Question one: yes and no. Most of the vomiting emojis shared here in comments are fake made using googles emoji kitchen thing. But there are many real modifiers for emojis like skin color or adding accents like tildes to regular english alphabet characters.
Question two: Modern keyboards typically have most emojis built in for you to select through. I dont think typing in the unicode values will automatically convert on phone operating systems but this might help if using windows or programming into a website.
the XKCD explained article on this actually gave some really great info.
I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?
Ok. It took some research, but I think I have it worked out. You have to either be using the gboard keyboard or go to the emoji kitchen website. From the website, you can just combine, copy, and paste. From Gboard, you need to select the smiley face next to the space bar OR click the 4 squares and then go into "emoji." From there, you can select 2 emojis (assuming they are compatible) to create a new emoji, or select 1 and choose one of the recommendations. I can't get it to work from my phone in the Voyager app, but I also can't guarantee that's Voyager's problem vs. mine. It does work on my texting app, however, so I know it works. For further reference.
It works for me on Whatsapp, but not on Eternity, the app I use for Lemmy. Wonder why. Thank you for answering though! I'm old enough that I rarely actually use emoji, and just go with emoticons, but this is cool to know!
Ding Ding, check this comment chain for your answer. Today you, tomorrow me.

It's not ai generated... yet. Right now these are made and approved by google. That's why you don't see the eggplant, peach or gun.

This reminds me of those games where you start off with water, wind, earth and fire and combine them to make new elements, which you then combine to make new elements, etc.
I wonder how the code works on emojikitchen.

I am extremely disappointed by the combination of 👄 and 🤮 just being the 🤮 with a small 👄 on the forehead.
Yeah a lot of them really make you think they phoned it in.
Like this one really should've been a phone handset puking out of the speaker.
Been a thing for a while, used the vomiting moon a lot already.
There really is an xkcd for everything.
Always remember that the vomiting emoji looks like it's sucking Shrek's green dong

As someone who has red hair:
sigh We will get vomiting dogs before I can modify a woman to have red hair.
