x270c is Victory Hand, x261d is Index Pointing Up, x270d is Writing 
Hand, and x26f9 is Person Bouncing Ball. They are found in Unicode 14's, 
along with Unicode 13's emoji-data.txt. All of which have been a part of 
Emoji 1.0 from 2015.

As the comments in emoji-style.txt states, emojis with 
Emoji_Presentation=False when followed by VS15 (text+ts), should be 
displayed as text, but currently most are displayed as emojis, whereas 
most of those followed by VS16 (text+es) are currently displayed text. 
See the attached screenshot.
