Unicode 15.1 prepares to point your emoji in new direction (blog.unicode.org)

There are primary focus areas for this release: the depiction of families of all sorts in a single, sequenced emoji, and; directionality. Details on how Unicode plans on addressing them (by proposing 578 new designs for standardization).

Love the writing style, much more light and fun than one would expect for an update on a point release from an industry consortium.
