        fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6, 3))
        text = 'There are 多个汉字 👈👉 in between!'
        plt.rcParams['font.family'] = ['Segoe UI Emoji', 'SimHei']

    That's because you set the rcParam after creating the figure. The same thing would happen to the other text if you put it after figtext as well.

    You need to set the rcParam before calling plt.subplots.
