10. Awesome Codepoints

Code Points that Affect Others

• Skin color of emoji: There are five code points, that control the skin color of emoji, U+1F3FB to U+1F3FF. They are called “Emoji Modifier Fitzpatrick Type” 1 to 6, with 1 the palest and 6 the darkest. If one of these characters follows an emoji, that emoji is meant to be rendered in the appropriate skin color of the Fitzpatrick scale. If no such modifier is added, the skin tone should be unnatural, e. g., bright yellow. Fun fact: Since the Fitzpatrick modifiers are normal code points, emoji with such skin colors have the length 2, which Twitter users noticed first. Here is a comparison chart directly from the specification:

  Code	Name	Samples
  U+1F3FB	EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-1-2
  U+1F3FC	EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-3
  U+1F3FD	EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-4
  U+1F3FE	EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-5
  U+1F3FF	EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE-6
