Backstory
The core 'Person: Bald' emoji (1F471) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010). The addition of skin tone modifiers (1F3FB to 1F3FF) came later with Unicode 8.0 (2015). The 'Woman' (2640) and 'Female Sign' (FE0F) with Zero Width Joiner (200D) was added in Unicode 4.0 (2003) and 6.0 (2010) respectively, to allow for gender-specific representations when combined with other emojis, forming a sequence to represent a 'bald woman'. This reflects the ongoing effort to create more inclusive and specific emoji representations.
