@eleonorang @ClaudiaBefu In most of the texts/tweets/posts I've read I've noticed that many people put it after.
However, there's been a debate in Twitter, as the RAE (the main regulatory body for Spanish) argues that if an emoji is the last element of a sentence, the full stop goes after the emoji.

Others argue (and I agree) that this is an extratextual element and therefore should be put after the punctuation mark.
