This in turn reminds me of this analysis scissors emojis on each platform: https://wh0.github.io/2020/01/02/scissors.html
I remember something similar for train emojis, but I couldn't find it from a quick search

Many scissor emoji couldn't close, and ants don't have a waist - accuracy is not a core requirement of emoji.
I noticed that the flipped person with cane emoji became left handed. Will we get dominant hand modifiers and more permutations?
