Unicode Emoji code points are becoming more important and support for rendering these is increasingly widespread.

As well as the rendering, Unicode defines various properties for these such as
whether the default presentation is greyscale (traditional glyphs) or color image.
Unicode variation selectors may be used by text to indicate they want the non-default presentation.

Presently java.lang.Character provides no property information related to Emoji.
You cannot query even if it is an Emoji per Unicode, even though the CLDR data
included in the JDK sources could be used to create APIs exposing this and the presentation.

See https://www.unicode.org/Public/15.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt

and https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_Properties_and_Data_Files
Property Abbr Property Values
Emoji Emoji =Yes for characters that are emoji
Emoji_Presentation EPres =Yes for characters that have emoji presentation by default

There are more properties than this .. but this would be a good start.

It is requested that API be added to java.lang.Character to expose this information (and other appropriate Unicode properties for Emoji).
JDK rendering code can then make the proper decision for the version of Unicode supported by the same JDK

I expect it will also be useful for non-rendering code which needs to classify text.
