Too Many Emojis
To start, we are provided with the following image:

From this image, we can see that we are provided with the flag format. By crosschecking the flag format bronco{} and the first group of emojis, we can see that the first letter of each emoji is used to make the flag! So:
| Emoji | Emoji Name | Letter Taken |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ | Broken Heart | b |
| ๐ | Relieved Face | r |
| ๐น | Ogre | o |
| ๐คข | Nauseated Face | n |
| ๐ | Confounded Face | c |
| ๐น | Ogre | o |
With that, we can get the flag!
