Subject: VS in emoji sequences

====

We are fixing some of the use of VS in emoji sequences. As a part of that, the following changes would be made:

In http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/3.0/emoji-sequences.txt, add sequences with EVS in each of the combining sequences. That is, we would have both with and without.

In http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/3.0/emoji-data.txt, add
1F441         ; Emoji_Presentation                # 7.0  [1] (👁️)       EYE

The emoji_combining_sequence definition (that we are to add) needs to be:

emoji_combining_sequence :=

  emoji_character non_spacing_mark*
| emoji_variation_sequence non_spacing_mark*

The core sequence needs to be 

emoji_core_sequence :=
  emoji_combining_sequence
| emoji_modifier_sequence 
| emoji_flag_sequence
