Details

Skin tone variations

Emoji's skin tone variations are consolidated into one base entry, with a tone flag on them.

This means one entry of 👋 represents its 5 variations– 👋🏻, 👋🏼, 👋🏽, 👋🏾, 👋🏿; while raw unicode data list them as individual emoji entries.

The tone flag is present where needed; in other cases, it remains undefined to avoid creating a negative flag.
