Emoji Component - Yes
Yes is the designation for characters that serve as functional building blocks in emoji sequences, specifically those that can combine with others to form complete emoji. This includes the keycap digits and the hash and asterisk symbols, which pair with a combining enclosing keycap, as well as the five variation selector-16 characters that force emoji presentation, and the regional indicator letters A through Z that pair up to create flag emojis. Also included are the zero width joiner, which links separate emoji into multiโcharacter sequences, and the twelve skin tone modifiers that alter the complexion of human emoji. These components are not full emoji themselves; instead, they act as modifiers or bases that must be combined with other characters to achieve a specific visual result. The "Yes" value identifies exactly these discrete, reusable pieces within the larger system of emoji construction.
