 Suggested

 1F409 DRAGON

    x (leo - 264C)
Note: For the Western Zodiac numbers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac#The_twelve_signs

B. These nameslist cross-references seem odd, and perhaps should be deleted:


COCKTAIL GLASS

→ U+1F6CB 🛋 COUCH AND LAMP

// what’s the connection?


FACE WITHOUT MOUTH

• used for the South Wind in some Mahjong annotation

→ U+2687 ⚇ WHITE CIRCLE WITH TWO DOTS

// what’s the connection between a face without mouth emoji to either of these annotations?
