Backstory
This emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, meaning it's formed by combining two or more existing emojis with a special character (200D) to create a new, distinct pictogram. The 'person' (1F9D1) and 'ear of maize' (1F33E) emojis are joined to specifically represent a farmer, highlighting the role in agriculture. This sequence approach allows for more specific job-role emojis without creating new code points for every profession.
