Backstory
This is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence combining several Unicode characters to create a specific skin tone and hair color/style for a person. It's a combination of 'Person: Blond Hair' (1F471 200D 2642) with a skin tone modifier (1F3FB for Medium-Light Skin Tone). The male sign (2642) specifically denotes the gender. The FE0F (variation selector) is sometimes added for explicit emoji presentation.
