Will the directional change emojis be achieved via a ZWJ (e.g. 👍+◀️ = thumbs-up-left)?

Hi Caleb! Yes, it's leveraging a valid ZWJ sequence. You can read more about it here: https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Direction

I am very disappointed that you are going to add a second color of mushroom and lime that can be expressed with other emojis. But you have declined many important emojis like ostrich, seahorse, starfish which cannot be expressed with any other emoji😔😔

I'd like to request a chance to interview you, if you'd be up for it! I'm currently creating an enormous crossword that uses emoji, so I'd appreciate getting your perspective on their use in a puzzling context. You can reach me at tcampbell1000(at)gmail.com, and if you want a smaller-scale sample of the kind of puzzle I mean, you can find it at https://ubercross.com/small-g.html. Thanks!
