If you exclude 'emojis' which are literally just picture forms of characters in existing languages:
Technically, they're pictoglyphs, not hieroglyphs.
Emojis represent the literal thing they portray (pictogram), the word associated with that literal thing (logogram), and, to varying degrees to different people, represent other related concepts and associated ideas (ideogram).
Hieroglyphs do all of that, but additionally also represent spoken syllables and alphabetic characters, and follow a concrete syntax amd grammar system that allows for a much more extensive vocabulary, as well as more complex sentence structures than emojis, which have far more certain and unambiguous meanings.
As an example of that, try to represent my previous sentence using only emojis, and then present that string of emojis to a random person you know and ask them what it means.
Basically, hieroglyphs constitute an actual language, purely using emojis is playing pictionary as a means of communication.

fixed it
๐๐ <- ideograms?
You got it!
A pictoglyph being used to represent something associated with the actual thing being represented, falls under ideogram.
But when your grandma sends a shopping list to you in emoji form, she probably means it as a pictogram.
... Hopefully.
Listen guys, this Lemmy user is a huge nerd!

Thank you, I learnt a lot.

Wait, let me consult my pocket ASCII chart to check if I've been insulted.
Okay, I tried it but didn't work. ๐ด is translated to S or Z. But others didn't work. Both charmap and online failed.
Ankh wedja seneb (๐น๐๐ด ๊ฅnแธซ wแธ๊ข snb) is an Egyptian phrase which often appears after the names of pharaohs, in references to their household, or at the ends of letters. The formula consists of three Egyptian hieroglyphs without clarification of pronunciation, making its exact grammatical form difficult to reconstruct. It may be expressed as "life, prosperity, and health", but Alan Gardiner proposed that they represented verbs in the stative form:[citation needed] "Be alive, strong, and healthy".

What does that say? I don't read ancient foreign.
The house question traveled back in time, damn
19:00 somewhat ruined the illusion, bringing those modern Arabic numerals into the mix.
There's a perfectly good "at sunset" hieroglyphic ๐
(it's technically sunrise, but okay)
There is also sunset ๐
How can sunrise be substituted for sunset?
Or even ๐
This is needlessly complicated. All I need is a beer emoji and I would be at the guys house with a six pack in 15 minutes.

Trebuchet, man!

Give it a couple millennia and they will evolve back into alphabets and syllabaries
