At least since the incorporation of Emojis it's not supposed to 
be a universal way of representing characters anymore. :-)
Maybe there was a time when that was true I don't know but I 
think they see Unicode as a way to express all language symbols.
And Emojis is nothing else than a language were each symbol 
stands for an emotion/word/sentence.
If Unicode only allows languages with characters which are used 
to form words it's excluding languages which use other ways of 
expressing something.

Would you suggest to remove such writing systems out of Unicode?
What should a museum do which is in need of a software to somehow 
manage Egyptian hieroglyphs?

Unicode was made to support all sorts of writing systems and 
using multiple characters per word is just one system to form a 
writing system.
