Everyone loves emoji! A few years ago, the Unicode consortium came up with a brilliant method for creating families: ligatures.
A unicode family can be composed of up to two adults (with optional skin tone) and up to two kids (with optional skin tone). The family is glued together with a special character: the Zero-Width Joiner
Windows 10 officially supports every permutation of the Family. Your browser may render these families as separate pieces.
