Backstory
This is a ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequence, meaning it's composed of multiple individual emojis joined together to form a new, more specific emoji. The 'person' emoji was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), skin tone modifiers in Unicode 8.0 (2015), and the 'factory' emoji in Unicode 6.0 (2010). The combination became widely supported as a unified emoji for factory workers.
