I’m not seeing any emojis in your data source. Where would they be? Also, the Console label isn’t changing so I’m guessing I’m not doing something right to make the “if [does list…]…” block true.
What you’re trying to do should be possible. For example, I added a lightning bolt emoji to the “cost” column of the 2nd row of the data source and then ran these blocks which returns “light” in the console label:
Note that you can reference rows by numeric value in the “get value from [data source]” block but not in the “Data_Viewer_List’s for [row id]'s Text” block. 
It just makes testing a bit more complicated.
