The answer to your question (at least I think so?)
I believe the factory function returns the object that came as a result of successfully require-ing 'jquery' in the try block (with a little bit of magic internally since the factory callback function was passed in as an argument to what seems to be an IIFE).
What the factory function returns (given a successfully loaded module via the require function in the try block) is then stored in module.exports, thus exporting 'jquery'.
TL;DR: What that code snippet does is export the jQuery library.
How to use emojis
For Chrome, you can focus on the text box you want to use an emoji for. Then you can right-click to bring up the context menu. You should be able to see an entry called Emoji at the top. Selecting that entry brings up the native Emoji Keyboard of your OS. If not, then you can try to update Chrome.
For Windows in general, you can focus on the text box and use the keyboard shortcut Win + . to bring up the native Emoji Keyboard of Windows 10. And voila! That's it. You can keep typing to run a search on all the emojis.
From my best efforts to understand the code, I think it has misplaced a parenthesis after the } in line 26. Adding the missing parenthesis and fixing the respective closing parentheses at line 163 should reveal that the factory function is defined by the argument to the first IIFE.
Honestly, I question that this code even works. The way the code has been formatted is so strange and obscure. I don't even know if it's a syntax error or just poor formatting.
Yup, agreed. Perhaps you could submit a pull request to format the code. That way, you can help people who are just as curious of the code understand it better. Contributions are always welcome (and needed) in the open-source world.

Here is the whole code.
The first IIFE is taking factory as an argument, but where is the factory coming from.
jQuery does the same

The problem is with the way the code is formatted.
the code formatted like above thus there is no error and the code works fine.
The only problem is that this type of formatting creates a lot of confusion (It took me two days, and your help in deciphering it)
this would have been a better approach
