Typefaces are not part of Unicode, coloured or not.


Unicode is a list of glyphs, typefaces are sets of shapes which represent glyphs. Emoji are pictures. Coloured glyphs in Unicode, which include emoji, require compliant typefaces to include some shapes that have a preset colour, and this is illogical, as colour is not the property of the shapes of a type, but of the rendered text. This must stop before Mona Lisa makes it into the Unicode.
