This is per a request from the client group, as well as refining the currently existing ad-hoc emoji implementation in regex. A CSR has also been drafted, and I would appreciate reviews for it too.

Would it make sense to add something like the following to `GenerateCharacter.propertiesComments`?


if ((val & maskEmoji) == maskEmoji) {
    result.append(", emoji ");
}
if ((val & maskEmojiPresentation) == maskEmojiPresentation) {
    result.append(", emojiPresentation ");
}
if ((val & maskEmojiModifier) == maskEmojiModifier) {
    result.append(", emojiModifier ");
}
if ((val & maskEmojiModifierBase) == maskEmojiModifierBase) {
    result.append(", emojiModifierBase ");
}
if ((val & maskEmojiComponent) == maskEmojiComponent) {
    result.append(", emojiComponent ");
}
if ((val & maskExtendedPictographic) == maskExtendedPictographic) {
    result.append(", extendedPictographic ");
}


This updates the comments of the B table to something like this sample:


0x0000,  //  34   unassigned, L
0x0440,  //  35   unassigned, L, emoji , emojiComponent
0x0000,  //  36   unassigned, L
