I believe we're running into the same sort of issue we had with GINGER ROOT — see fairly long discussion starting at "Re^6: Larger profile pic than 80KB?" — namely Microsoft is supplying you (using Win11) with a more recent version of the Segoe UI Emoji font than it supplies me (using Win10).

What I see in your JAPH suggestion is these four glyphs in a line:
⚖️ U+2696 SCALES
🦪 U+1F9AA OYSTER
🧑 U+1F9D1 ADULT
💻 U+1F4BB PERSONAL COMPUTER

I suspect you're seeing just three glyphs: ⚖️ & 🦪, followed by one that looks similar to 👨‍💻 (please confirm).

Looking at your post more closely, I can individually select (with mouse) ⚖️ & 🦪 but I can only select 🧑💻 as a single entity. This is in line with the first paragraph of "Recommended Emoji ZWJ Sequences, v15.1":

[Warning: That page is massive. If you choose to follow that link, you'll find the ZWJ sequence we're discussing at 425 (first column on the left). You may want to kill the download after that. I was wondering how long it might be; killed it at 1131. :-) ]
"The following are the recommended emoji zwj sequences, which use a U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER (ZWJ) to join the characters into a single glyph if available. When not available, the ZWJ characters are ignored and a fallback sequence of separate emoji is displayed. Thus an emoji zwj sequence should only be supported where the fallback sequence would also make sense to a viewer."

I already knew about the ZWJ sequence 👨‍💻 and just posted its components. Had I wrapped them in several <big> tags, I no doubt would have noticed the difference between 🧑 and 👨.

I agree that using ADULT instead of MAN is a better choice; although, of course, you do need a sufficiently recent font to display the ZWJ sequence.
