Backstory
This specific sequence combines several elements to create a precise representation. The base 'runner' emoji (1F3C3) was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010). Skin tone modifiers (1F3FB) were added in Unicode 8.0 (2015). The ZWJ sequence for gendered emojis, like separating into male/female, became more prevalent with Unicode 4.0's introduction of the female sign (2640 FE0F), defining specific gender roles for otherwise gender-neutral base characters.
