Using chr, the numeric value can be rendered as its corresponding Unicode symbol. Consider the following document:

Example data

    "emoji_numeric_value": 10084
}

Example query

create emoji_value from chr(emoji_numeric_value)
create emoji_value from emoji_numeric_value.chr()

Example output

Both notations produce:

{
    "emoji_numeric_value": 10084,
    "emoji_value": "❤"
}
