Backstory
The base emoji 1F9D1 (person) combined with skin tone 1F3FB (light skin tone) and the 200D ZWJ followed by 1F384 (Christmas tree) creates the specific 'person: light skin tone, with Santa hat' depiction. The 'person' emoji was introduced in Unicode 10.0 (2017), and its combination with other elements via ZWJ allows for more specific representations.
