About Emoji 4.0

Emoji 4.0 was published in November 2016 while the corresponding Unicode repertoire remained at 9.0. It was dominated by ZWJ sequences that broadened representation of professions, activities and gendered forms, together with their supported skin tones. Because a single concept can have many fully-qualified sequences, this page groups related variants for browsing while retaining a deterministic E4.0 assignment for every canonical record. The sequence itself—not the oldest character inside it—determines membership.
