Backstory
This emoji combines several code points: 🏃 (Person Running), 🏾 (Type-4 skin tone), ♀️ (Female Sign) and a Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) to create a single female runner emoji with a specific skin tone. The base 'Person Running' was introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), with gender and skin tone modifiers becoming available later to allow for more inclusive representation.
