I wouldn't turn up to most job interviews with rainbow hair, oversize sunglasses and clown shoes. And if I dressed sensibly, I probably wouldn't bring my teddy bear as a mascot if I expected to be taken seriously.
Emojis are in that sort of territory.
Know your audience. And if you don't, or are trying to present to as wide an audience as possible, default to the safety of plain prose.

I will be honest - I don’t take LinkedIn very seriously. I have mine on private, only 8 connections who are all my coworkers, no profile photo, no posts/likes/comments, and I’m just making a bio now. I’ve never used it to get jobs before nor have any HR folks gone through it to hire me 🤷♀️ I mostly just wanted to set it up as like a work portfolio that if anyone happens to come across, they can see what I do and reach out if they feel like it.
