   • When an emoji zwj^([sic]) sequence is sent to a system that does not have a corresponding single glyph, the ZWJ characters would be ignored and a fallback sequence of separate emoji would be displayed. […] Family and other groups are built up in exactly same way, one character at a time, with ZWJs in between. 2016 November 14, Rob Reed, “Everything You Need To Know About Emoji”, in Smashing Magazine, archived from the original on 12 Feb 2025:
