I went with the following:

(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
  (define-key map "c" (string-to-vector "✅️"))
  (define-key map "u" (string-to-vector "👍️"))
  (define-key map "d" (string-to-vector "👎️"))
  (define-key map "w" (string-to-vector "🖐️"))
  (define-key map "t" (string-to-vector "📺️"))
  (define-key map "S" (string-to-vector "♠️"))
  (define-key map "C" (string-to-vector "♣️"))
  (define-key map "H" (string-to-vector "♥️"))
  (define-key map "D" (string-to-vector "♦️"))
  (define-key ctl-x-map "8e" map))
