Use Samsung Keyboard
Like Google Keyboard, Samsung’s native keyboard on One UI also offers an option to cook up custom emojis. These custom emojis are a hybrid of two or more regular emojis mashed into one.

To create a custom emoji on Samsung, open the keyboard, hit the emoji icon, and tap the icon with two floating emojis. Tap on ‘Create’ and select two emojis to fuse them together.
