All the ones for the non-emoji codepoints that still need to be
composed as emoji sometimes, eg U+261D:

"\N{U+261D}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+1F3FB}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+1F3FC}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+1F3FD}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+1F3FE}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+1F3FF}"

to which we add:

"\N{U+261D}\N{U+FE0E}"
"\N{U+261D}\N{U+FE0F}"

(and not adding those doesnʼt help).
