Backstory
This emoji is a combination of two existing emojis: 🏃 Person Running (U+1F3C3) and ♀ Female Sign (U+2640), linked by a Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) and ending with a Variation Selector-16 (U+FE0F) for specific display. This sequence was introduced to provide gender-specific representations for existing emojis, allowing for greater diversity in digital communication. The primary running emoji was part of Unicode 6.0 (2010), and the gender-specific variants came later as part of Emoji 4.0 in 2016.
