Wonder what was the decision to make color set fixed to Fitzpatrick scale and not use something generic to allow non-natural/non-realistic/not-human tones[2]. Something like language tags[1] but for color codes. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_control_characters#Language_tags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_control_characters#Lan... [2] The Internet is primarily about cute kitties, not humans. And there are still no means to mark whenever U+1F431 (🐱) is black, or, say, silver spotted tabby.

Well, I think we should get the humanoids done first. U+1F400 EMOJI MODIFIER SMURF U+1F401 EMOJI MODIFIER NAVI U+1F402 EMOJI MODIFIER GREY U+1F403 EMOJI MODIFIER GRAY … the last two being particularly useful for 1F47D  EXTRATERRESTRIAL ALIEN; and U+1F404 EMOJI MODIFIER REPTILIAN SHAPESHIFTER whose rendering is implementation-dependent but will be visually identical to one of the FITZPATRICK MODIFIER set if you know what's good for you. But the real, important work will come with the modifier modifiers, e.g. U+1F500 EMOJI MODIFIER MODIFIER EMBARRASSED U+1F501 EMOJI MODIFIER MODIFIER SUNBURNT U+1F502 EMOJI MODIFIER MODIFIER CHOKING U+1F503 EMOJI MODIFIER MODIFIER DEAD … to be used in conjunction with the EMOJI MODIFIER set. These will need to be stackable if we are to be able to distinguish embarrassed dead white males from regular arrogant dead white males. Another commenter mentioned the requirement for facial hair, U+1F1330 EMOJI MODIFIER ANCHOR U+1F1331 EMOJI MODIFIER BALBO U+1F1332 EMOJI MODIFIER CHIN PUFF U+1F1333 EMOJI MODIFIER CHIN STRAP U+1F1334 EMOJI MODIFIER DUTCH U+1F1335 EMOJI MODIFIER FIVE O'CLOCK SHADOW U+1F1336 EMOJI MODIFIER GOATEE U+1F1337 EMOJI MODIFIER HACKER BEARD U+1F1338 EMOJI MODIFIER IMPERIAL U+1F1339 EMOJI MODIFIER MUTTON CHOPS U+1F133A EMOJI MODIFIER NECKBEARD U+1F133B EMOJI MODIFIER SOUL PATCH U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER BOX CAR MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER CHEVRON MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER DALI MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER HANDLEBAR MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER PENCIL MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER PYRAMIDAL MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER TOOTHBRUSH MOUSTACHE U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER WALRUS MOUSTACHE which in turn requires the development of headgear modifiers, so that it's possible to distinguish between U+1F468 MAN, U+1F3FB EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-1-2, U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER TOOTHBRUSH MOUSTACHE (Hitler) and U+1F468 MAN, U+1F3FB EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-1-2, U+1F1430 EMOJI MODIFIER TOOTHBRUSH MOUSTACHE, U+1F1849 EMOJI MODIFIER BOWLER HAT (Chaplin).

  Also we could discuss ordering of these characters. Like why, for instance, white males should be standing before black females after sorting? Seems like inequality! Maybe they should be sorted randomly every time? Same applies to beards, of course.
