It appears that it's quite easy to build an universal version.
If the active application uses the localized string, the menu item is named
EmojiAndSymbols_loc
If it doesn't, the menu item is named the English way : "Emoji & Symbols".

set theSource to (path to library folder from system domain as text) &
"Frameworks:Carbon.framework:Versions:A:Frameworks:HIToolbox.framework:"
set EmojiAndSymbols_loc to localized string "Emoji & Symbols" from table
"Menus" in bundle (theSource as «class furl»)

tell application id "com.apple.systemevents"
        tell (first process whose frontmost is true) to tell menu bar 1
                --get name of menu bar items
                (*{
01 - "Apple",
02 - "???????",
03 - "Fichier",
04 - "Édition",
…}
*)
                set mt to 4
                --get name of menu bar item mt -- {"Édition"}
                try
                        tell menu bar item mt to tell menu 1
                                # If the app uses the localized string the item
is named EmojiAndSymbols_loc
                                # If it doesn't, the item is named the English
way : "Emoji & Symbols"
                                set itemEmoji to first menu item whose name is
EmojiAndSymbols_loc or name is "Emoji & Symbols"
                                click itemEmoji
                        end tell
                on error
                        error "There is no Emoji item available in the
frontmost application !"
                end try
        end tell
end tell -- System Events
