A single emoji is a sequence (of bytes)

  "<thing> sequence" is generally taken as a sequence of <thing>. There is a certain ambiguity there.

      So the API rejects a lot of valid emojis from my reading of that

        Huh. ZWJ is an interesting corner case. Technically it's supposed to be used when combining emoji sequences that compose another single emoji (flags, skin color, gender, etc), but if the server doesn't discriminate for "real" emoji combos it technically can be an arbitrary combo.
