Maybe at some future point we can add the white hair to this family setting ... maybe you can already do this with your Win11 Segoe UI Emoji font. Can you?

You read me like a book, that's exactly what I was trying to do! :) ... and was bitterly disappointed when it didn't work.

For completeness, I ran a simple standalone test using Windows 11 PowerShell. 

PS C:\> $joiner    = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x200D)
PS C:\> $man       = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F468)
PS C:\> $girl      = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F467)
PS C:\> $boy       = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F466)
PS C:\> $whitehair = [char]::ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F9B3)

PS C:\> "$man$joiner$girl$joiner$boy"
👨‍👧‍👦


PS C:\> "$man$joiner$whitehair$joiner$girl$joiner$boy"
👨‍🦳‍👧‍👦

Running equivalent test on Ubuntu bash with echo -e produced the same depressing result. It seems you can enjoy a family emoji with a default man, but not a man with white hair. Maybe a Unicode emoji expert knows how to do it, but I don't.
