I really don't get why we don't have 
as an emoji (person + woman + girl). Of all the emoji to remain gendered, family units seems like a really weird one to leave out

so unicode allows this, it's a matter of implementors, and most emoji fonts have to have individual images for each one of these (except Microsoft I think?) this is also why mixed skin tone families took forever

right, I'm explaining why: they need to like ... 50x the number of images they ship, which is .... a problem when the number is already huge

so pre neutral emoji there were ... (n= 4*6, n + n^2 + n^3 + n^4) = 346,200 combos, now it's n=6*6 -> 1,727,604 . idk if the old person emoji count because then it would be 8*6. It's a major increase in size and I suspect they need to convince folks to include it.
