Title:
Emoji skin tones are rendered as missing characters
Status in Canonical System Image:

Bug description:
U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF are not rendered in the messaging app.
Instead the "empty rectangle" missing-character symbol is rendered.
These characters are the "EMOJI MODIFIER FITZPATRICK TYPE" characters.
They are meant to indicate skin tone of the preceding emoji.
I know that on the messaging app, all emoji are currently rendered as
black and white. I assume that is a design choice. In the case we
given specific color information, we either could render the color as
requested or ignore it. But in neither case should we show the
"missing-character" symbol.
