Notice how the BOY remains on the lower-right regardless of whether the GIRL is included or not

That's not what I see!

Whichever of girl or boy appears first, is rendered on my lower-left as I look at the screen. 

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

In the first one above, the boy is on the lower-right; in the second one the boy is on the lower-left.

If only one of boy or girl is included, they appear on the lower right as I look at the screen. 

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

Maybe it depends on the font?
