Backstory
The 🧑 Person emoji (1F9D1) was introduced in Unicode 10.0 (2017) to allow for gender-neutral representation. The original 'Person with blond hair' (1F471) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), representing a generic blond-haired individual. The skin tone modifier (1F3FF for light skin tone) was added later, allowing users to customize the appearance of many human emojis. This combination (1F471 1F3FF) is a legacy representation for a blond-haired person with light skin, distinct from the more recent 🧑 emoji with hair type selectors.
