Emoji Modifier - Yes

Yes is the indicator that a character functions as an emoji modifier, specifically one of the five skin tone variants (light, medium-light, medium, medium-dark, and dark). These modifiers are standalone characters that are intended to be combined with a preceding emoji, such as a hand gesture or person, to alter its appearance. When a character has this value, it signals that it cannot stand alone as a full emoji but must follow a base emoji to form a modified sequence, allowing for representation of diverse skin tones. The value also implies that the character is not a default emoji presentation and relies on the surrounding context for proper display.
