I have a ~/.XCompose file that contains something like

include "%L"
<Multi_key> <colon> <s>             : "=F0=9F=98=96"   U1F616 # CONFOUNDED =
FACE
<Multi_key> <colon> <p>             : "=F0=9F=98=9B"   U1F61B # FACE WITH
STUCK-OUT TONGUE <Multi_key> <colon> <P>             : "=F0=9F=98=9B"   U1F=
61B #
FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE


The "include" pulls in the system-wide file, before adding my own
compose maps.
