Some emojis show an unexpected square beside them #35

When testing this font with https://getemoji.com, I see that the skiing and the sleeping emojis under the "Pale Emojis" section (and also the other colored human emojis) show an additional square beside them, as shown in the screenshot below. (Please see the last row and the right side of the 4th row from the top).

When testing with Noto Emoji fonts, the issue is not seen.

Hi @supriyo-biswas, interestingly as it may sound, these emoji are not available on macOS. I just tested it on macOS Sonoma 14.2 (latest version).

I guess since in the Apple designs of these particular emoji the skin is not even visible, they decided to just include the base version, which leads to the incorrect rendering (the square you see corresponds to the skin tone codepoint).
