How can I stop emojis from being oversized in texts?

Whenever I try to send The 🤞 whether it’s on text or on an app such as Snapchat or Instagram it sends it huge it will not add it in the text like it is on here. It will just send it separately massive as like it’s a sticker or something. How do I stop it from doing that?
