The article is quite unclear as to why a new collection of code points is needed to represent a handshake. It is in fact so unclear that I halfway through ended up confused as to if the author was trying to add handshake into Unicode or to add color to an already existing handshake emoji. Reading through comments here, it seems that A) there does indeed already exist a handshake code point. B) Unicode does not allow adding two colors to a single code point, so author needs to invent a collection of code points that can represent an already existing emoji, in order to allow for different colored hands shaking.
