Changes (by pento):

 * milestone:  5.4 => 5.3


Comment:

 The `12.0.0-1` CDN folder currently includes everything up to Twemoji
 version 12.1.2 (which, in an unfortunate versioning coincidence, doesn't
 correspond to the Emoji 12.1 spec). So, the only changes to be concerned
 about are those in the
 [https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/releases/tag/v12.1.3 Twemoji 12.1.3
 release]:

 - Trans flag: This was added in Twemoji 12.1, so currently only works in
 WordPress 5.3. I'm fine with the older version appearing for the handful
 of people who may have it cached already.
 - Rosetta, ballot box, puzzle piece: All from older Emoji specs, so are
 probably cached by a lot of people. The appearance has been polished, but
 the meaning hasn't been changed. I don't think there's a risk of folks
 seeing the older/newer versions depending on what they have cached.
 - Woman/Man/Person playing handball: From an older emoji spec. The figure
 has changed direction, but is otherwise the same. Given that other vendor
 implementations vary in what direction they face, I don't think this is a
 major concern. (Note: the Twemoji 12.1.3 changelog incorrectly shows that
 the man playing handball has changed to using the figure of the woman
 playing handball.)

 Provided this can be done in WP 5.3, I'm inclined to think that just
 overwriting the `12.0.0-1` folder on the CDN, and upgrading the Twemoji
 package version is fine.

 I'll move this ticket to the 5.3 milestone for consideration, but it's up
 to the 5.3 release leads as to whether they want to merge it this late in
 the cycle.
