You cannot use shortcodes in the options, but you can include the emoji as text.

options = ["馃槑", ":sunglasses:"]
st.selectbox("Select", options=options)

PS If you want shortcodes supported in options, here鈥檚 a GitHub feature request for you to upvote. It covers full Markdown support. Allow markdown options elements for selectbox widget 路 Issue #7466 路 streamlit/streamlit 路 GitHub
