Changing Emoji Shortcut

Question

I'm using El Capitan and I want to change emoji shortcut which is ctrl+cmd+space. I want to change it to two buttons? Is it possible?

This will work everywhere that Emoji & Symbols has a menu item...

^{As noted in comments, Cmd/Space is usually used for Spotlight. I chose this almost at random & discarded after the picture was taken.}

⌘Space is however used by Spotlight (and also to switch keyboard layouts priori to El Capitan)

For sure - I just picked something almost at random & discarded it after I'd taken the shot.

As a quick add-on to Tetsujin’s great answer, you could use Karabiner Elements to remap it to a single key if you wished.

Currently I’ve reassigned Caps Lock to showing the emoji picker.
