<br>
An astronaut emoji is created with a ZWJ sequence:<br>
<br>
U+1F9D1 ADULT (or U+1F468 MAN or U+1F469 WOMAN)<br>
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER<br>
U+1F680 ROCKET<br>
<br>
This is described in Section 2.3.1, "Gender-Neutral Emoji," although the section heading hardly makes that clear.<br>
<br>
Coloring a base emoji — let's say green — is accomplished with another ZWJ sequence:<br>
<br>
U+1F44D THUMBS UP SIGN<br>
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER<br>
U+1F7E9 LARGE GREEN SQUARE<br>
<br>
This is described in Section 2.9, "Color."<br>
<br>
Then there is a Section 2.11, "Order of Emoji ZWJ Sequences," which defines the canonical order as follows:<br>
<br>
1 Base (Section 1.4.1 Emoji Characters)<br>
2 Emoji modifier or emoji presentation selector (Section 2.4 Diversity)<br>
3 Hair component (Section 2.8 Hair Component)<br>
4 Color (Section 2.9, Color)<br>
5 Gender sign or object (Section 2.3.1, Gender-Neutral Emoji)<br>
6 Direction indicator (Section 2.10, Emoji Glyph Facing Direction)<br>
<br>
Remember that the astronaut sequence goes under the category "gender sign or object."<br>
<br>
So the sequence is base (1), then ZWJ sequence for color (4), then ZWJ sequence for "astronaut" (5):<br>
<br>
U+1F9D1 ADULT (or U+1F468 MAN or U+1F469 WOMAN)<br>
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER<br>
U+1F7E9 LARGE GREEN SQUARE<br>
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER<br>
U+1F680 ROCKET<br>
