To clarify the woman farmer being 14 or 15 bytes: the example given is four different combined characters, and is additionally a "medium skin tone woman farmer". A woman farmer requires the "woman" and "ear of rice" emoji, with a zero-width joiner character between them. To change the skin tone from the default yellow, a "medium skin tone" (type 4) modifier is added after the woman, but before the joiner. So the sequence "U+1F469 U+1F3FD U+200D U+1F33E" represents "woman skin-tone-4 joiner ear-of-rice". And in the UTF-8 bytes, the first four bytes are "woman", the next four are "skin-tone-4", then three for "zero-width-joiner", and finally four for "ear-of-rice".
