Backstory
This emoji combines 'slightly smiling face' (1F642) with 'zero width joiner' (200D), 'left right arrow' (2194), and 'variation selector-16' (FE0F). The combination is rare and not widely recognized as a standard emoji, suggesting it might be an experimental or less common sequence. Its meaning is thus open to interpretation based on its constituent parts.
