The tokenizer currently splits emoji sequences, either with modifiers or with ZWJs.
Examples are

In consequence this means for KorAP that queries need to treat these sequences as token sequences, like
[orth=✊][orth=🏿] and [orth=👨][orth=‍][orth=👦][orth=‍][orth=👦]. Which is especially problematic with ZWJ.

It's also therefore not possible to search for ✊🏿 or 👨‍👦‍👦.
