Note that the input can include emojis and can be as complex as necessary, as long as it produces a string in the end. For example, take this expression which retrieves the start and end dates of an event and formats them using built-in date functions:

Query(expression__Event__c(where: Name = "ExpressionConf")[Id, Name, Start_Date__c, End_Date__c])
    -> FIRST()
    -> TRANSFORM(
        "📅 ${TEXT(DAY($source.expression__Start_Date__c))} - ${DATETIMEFORMAT(DATETODATETIME($source.expression__End_Date__c), "dd MMMM yyyy")} ◆ 🗺️Los Angeles, CA"     
       )

It produces the same output as the simple string above:
