Eli also pointed out that this should depend on the presence of the
variation selector. Iʼll add that to the work Iʼm doing on emoji ZWNJ
sequences anyway (although given that the selector and the codepoints
will likely be using different fonts, Iʼm not sure we'll be able to
achieve this)

As per the attached. If itʼs all OK Iʼll push tomorrow.
