Actually, I forgot about compose-gstring-for-variation-glyph.  My
question was actually whether the general setting in

  (let ((elt `([,(purecopy "\\c.\\c^+") 1 compose-gstring-for-graphic]
	       [nil 0 compose-gstring-for-graphic])))
    (map-char-table
     #'(lambda (key val)
	 (if (memq val '(Mn Mc Me))
	     (set-char-table-range composition-function-table key elt)))
     unicode-category-table))

affects also the VS-n selectors.  But since the latter setting of

  (let ((elt '([".." 1 compose-gstring-for-variation-glyph])))
    (set-char-table-range composition-function-table '(#xFE00 . #xFE0E) elt)
    (set-char-table-range composition-function-table '(#xE0100 . #xE01EF) elt))

takes care of all the VS-n selectors except VS-16, and your patch now
will take care of VS-16, it sounds like we don't need to care about
other VS-n selectors?

Or are you saying that without including VS-15, CHAR+FE0E is not
displayed using its text representation?

Did you test the proposed change with the admin/emoji-*.txt files, to
make sure they all still display OK?
