An emoji is roughly equivalent to body language, facial expressions, and/or audible cues. They should be inserted wherever the intended action would occur.
An example: man, I laughed my ass off. 🤣
Would be acceptable, but: man, I laughed my ass off🤣. would be better because the laughter is integral to the sentence.
However; man, I laughed 🤣 my ass off. would also be acceptable because it is being used to demonstrate the action.
Something like: cats make my heart happy. 💓 😊
Would need it to be outside the sentence because it reinforces the message instead of being part of the message.
Emojis can be the equivalent of hand movements in a way, so where they get placed is about where you would place a gesture.
If one is going to use emojis, it is contextual.
