It *really* doesn’t. Even if you’re hell bent on using a pure state machine
approach, you need to add maybe two additional

Is this some kind of joke? Have Google put ANY thought into their emoji
design? First they bastardise the cute blob emoji, then they make their
emoji gendered, now they've literally just copied Apple's emoji. It's
sickening.
You cannot always tell things like these are jokes, I have seen people argue seriously that Unicode should dictate or enforce emojis before.
A more democratic solution is to allow the global public to both submit and
vote on emoji designs. Rather than allow a small number of (probably) north
american white males to dictate emojis in a 'colonial' process based on
their own world and personal view.
The Unicode consortium can vote to

Again, Unicode is not intended to and cannot ban specific designs of characters
including emoji. Unicode is responsible creating a list of characters that
should be supported, with the goal of making textual communication online
possible through a standardised encoding. Unicode is not

As said, Unicode does not and cannot enforce anything. Unicode sets the
recommendation, but has no power whatsoever of enforcing every vendor to meet
these recommendations, nor does it expect vendors to follow Apples designs.

And what makes you think Unicode has any authority to ‘ban’ Google from doing
anything at all (hint: Unicode has zero ability to enforce anything).

Hi,
the Unicode Consortium does not and cannot “ban” vendors from designing emojis
the way they wish. Unicode merely gives recommendations on how the characters
should be displayed. Think of the different designs on different platforms like
different fonts you can use (because that is actually
Is it possible to introduce variation selector for emoji with large design
variation among vendors so that when users send emoji with selectors their
variation among vendors can be minimized by asking vendors to support both
