The entire string is not available so I don't use "is" but "contains".

set theBundle 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 (theBundle as «class furl»)

tell application id "com.apple.systemevents"
        try
                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"}
                        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"
                                click (first menu item whose name is
EmojiAndSymbols_loc or name is "Emoji & Symbols")
                        end tell
                end tell
        on error
                # Try to use the menu Extra “Visualiseurs…”
                tell process "SystemUIServer"
                        try
                                set keyboardExtras to first item of (menu bar
items of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXDescription" = "text input")
                                tell keyboardExtras
                                        perform action "AXPress" # Reveal the
menu items
                                        tell menu 1
                                                --name of menu items -->
{"Afficher le visualiseur de clavier", "Afficher les Emoji et symboles",
missing value, "Ouvrir les préférences Clavier…"}
                                                click (first menu item whose
name contains EmojiAndSymbols_loc or name contains "Emoji & Symbols")
                                        end tell # menu 1

                                end tell
                        on error
                                error "The Menu Extra “Emoji…” is not available
in the menu bar !"
                        end try
                end tell
        end try
end tell -- System Events

I apologize but I don't know how the menu extra is named in English.
I would be interested by feedback from an eastern user, Japanese for instance.
