You can put emojis in an XML, and the squares are just the editor's way to render characters it can't recognize, like all other characters, you can specify the character by its UTF8 value instead. For example, 😃 has the char value of 128515, so you could use 😃 to specify it.
When displaying an emoji, your device looks up the image it should show for the given code point. When it comes across a "code point" it doesn't understand, it shows a symbol to represent an unknown emoji. This symbol is the question mark or box, depending on the device.
Use HTML Entity (decimal) i.e. 👈 to add 👈 in strings.xml and use it in your app.
So your string will be:
<string name="emoji">Hi 👈</string>
