"A color display should be able to differentiate 🔴 (U+1F534), 🟢 (U+1F7E2), and 🔵

"A color display should be able to differentiate 🔴 (LARGE RED CIRCLE), 🟢 (LARGE
GREEN CIRCLE), and 🔵 (LARGE BLUE CIRCLE)."
There is a strong guarantee that the codepoint will not change. There is a
weaker guarantee that the character names will [not] change.
This seems pretty strong:
Name Stability
Applicable Version: Unicode 2.0+
The Unicode Name property value for any non-reserved code point will not
be changed. In particular, once a character is encoded, its name will not
be changed.
Together with the limitations in name syntax, this policy allows
implementations to create unique identifiers from character names. The
character names are used to distinguish between characters and do not
always express the full meaning of each character. They are designed to
be used programmatically and, therefore, must be stable.
In some cases the original name chosen to represent the character is
inaccurate in one way or another. Any such inaccuracies are dealt with by
adding annotations to the character name list (which is also printed in
the Unicode Standard and provided in a machine-readable format), or by
adding descriptive text to the standard. In cases of outright errors in
character names such as misspellings, a character may be given a formal
name alias.
