I’d treat these as glyph changes within fonts.

Aihe: Major vendors changing U+1F52B PISTOL 🔫 depiction from firearm to squirt 
gun

 

Hello,

 

I'm curious if there has been any discussion on all the major vendors changing 
this emoji's depiction? 
(https://blog.emojipedia.org/all-major-vendors-commit-to-gun-redesign/)

 

As a user I find it troublesome because previous messages I've sent using this 
character on these platforms may now be interpreted differently due to the 
changed representation. That aspect has me wondering if this change is in line 
with Unicode standard conformance requirements.

 

Regards,

Abe Voelker
