 In [changeset:"39319"]:
 {{{

 Emoji: Update Twemoji fallback to version 2.2.2.

 This removes support for the skin tone modifier on emoji involving two or
 more people. This functionality is opposed by Apple and Google, so there
 is unlikely to be an input mechanism for such emoji, they oppose it on the
 grounds that they "...do not think a mechanism should be supported that
 only permits depiction of multi-person groups (or elements) in which each
 person has the same skin tone."

 See their official notification for further details:
 http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16332-remove-multi-emb.pdf

 This change does not require a CDN update, as no emoji were altered or
 added, only removed.

 See #38113.
