Backstory
The 'woman chef' emoji is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence combining 'woman' (U+1F469) and 'cooking' (U+1F373). This allows for a specific representation of a person engaged in the activity, rather than just the activity itself. It was introduced with Emoji 4.0 in 2016 as part of efforts to diversify gender representation in emoji roles.
