Backstory
This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, combining three Unicode code points: 'person with blond hair' (1F471), 'light skin tone' (1F3FF - but in this case, the blond hair implies a fair complexion and the base emoji 1F471 often defaults to a lighter skin tone), 'zero width joiner' (200D), and 'male sign' (2642), followed by a 'variation selector-16' (FE0F) to ensure it's rendered as an emoji. It was created to offer more gender and hair color specificity within the broader 'person' emoji set.
