Could you use more words to explain exactly what steps are needed to reproduce this issue, what you experienced, and what you expected?

Clear as mud. 🙂. Have to see what is happening in the application being used. Which I am guessing is a browser. Noto Emoji only has black (text) emojis, so not sure what the variation selector should do. Maybe you know more about emoji fonts than I do. And/or can guess better.

First test line above (I added a few blank lines to clarify):

U+1F642 : SLIGHTLY SMILING FACE
U+200D : ZERO WIDTH JOINER [ZWJ]
U+2194 : LEFT RIGHT ARROW {z notation relation}
U+0020 : SPACE [SP]

Second test line above (again added some blank lines):

U+1F642 : SLIGHTLY SMILING FACE
U+200D : ZERO WIDTH JOINER [ZWJ]
U+2195 : UP DOWN ARROW
U+0020 : SPACE [SP]

So it appears he is expecting different results from each of those sequences. But if it is just a black font, does that make sense?

https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_Variation_Sequences The first collum should render in a word processor, text editor, terminal, ect. the same as in the second collum!

With recent updates to this font these two code points added in UNICODE 15 the ↕ and ↔ are FALLBACK diplayed in the second collum.
