https://github.com/mervick/emojionearea#saveemojisas

it works only for emojis and only for save emojis as html images

Currently EmojioneArea not supports HTML at all, but actually it will be a good proposal to add this feature

Anyway `getHtml()` currently not exists, only `getText()` and it removes all extra html tags. It require to add custom options and methods for this and review all the code

Also currently it removes all html tags from source input

You can customize `filters` option, but you can't add new emoji because emojionearea not provide emoji, it uses emojione: https://github.com/mervick/emojionearea/blob/dd2a048aff730546cdd7c8c56ca6c0881a992ba8/dist/emojionearea.js#L169-L339

You can't do that with current version. It uses only emojione emojis

It's about jquery focus() event, it moves caret at begin of text. I not sure how you can fix it.
