did they think all those skintone emojis are individual codepoints?

When I first realized that the skin tone emojis were a code-point + a color code-point modifier, I tried to see what other colors there were and if I could apply those to other emojis. The immature child in me looked to see if there was a red color code point and if so, could I use it to make a "blood poop" emoji. Turns out.... no.
They might have thought that `reverse()` had some kind of unicode-aware handling. I believe `upper()`/`lower()` do.
