Ah, you are right, with the final U+FE0F it works, great!
Then I cannot find any sequence anymore which do not work except those
Robert already mentioned.

Something behaves slightly weird though when stepping with the cursor
over the following emojis:

👩🏽 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏴‍☠️

For the 3 British flags, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, I need 7 times forward-char to step
over them (they are made from 7 code points). But for the other emoji in
that example (👩🏽 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏴‍☠️) I need only 1 forward-char to step over
each of them, even though they are also made from more than one code
point.
