Summary:
Some Unicode characters are defined to have the potential to render in
either "text" style, using traditional monochrome symbols, or "emoji"
style, using full-color fonts of various types.
For characters that could be rendered in either form, the
font-variant-emoji property allows an author to specify which should be
preferred, which may affect which font the browser selects.
