What's the point of those weird fonts such as wingdings

Well if you’re going to use Unicode, it’s replaced Wingdings. Wingdings was for before Unicode.

Don’t need Wingdings for cards. U+2660, 2663, 2665, 2666. I think there are other variations. Didn’t DOS even have these symbols? I remember from playing Castle Adventure about 25 years ago. Your character, items, monsters, etc. were random symbols.

Yes. The four “hearts,clubs,spades,diamonds” characters are not an alternate font, they are in the PC specific use of the “extended ASCII” range from 128 - 255.

Is “emoji” a standard name or is it part of the japanifatuation fad of tentacle/kiddie porn?
