Missing Emoji 5.0 Gender Variants in Discourse: The discussion continues from Emoji 5.0 support is a bit too patchy for woman version of emojis regarding missing Emoji 5.0 gender variants in Discourse, including :woman_vampire:, :man_fairy:, :merperson:, and gender-neutral person shrugging. joffreyjaffeux will look into the issue after the next big release, and Falco has created a pull request to fix the issue, which has been completed for non-skin-tone emojis. According to Falco, the reported missing emojis are now fixed.
Discourse is (still?) missing a bunch of Emoji 5.0 gender variants, including :woman_vampire::man_fairy::merperson: and gender-neutral person shrugging.
EDIT: :merperson: is particularly odd, because it was called out by name in the earlier thread about this, and it was apparently never fixed…?
