Missing genders

[jbrecht]

Apologies if this is a misunderstanding, but I'm curious why, for example, 'woman astronaut' has a null gender in emoji.json? Upon inspection, it looks like perhaps gender is only given a value if the unicode for it includes the 'woman symbol' emoji (2640), but not if it includes the 'woman' emoji (1f469). (Presumably this also applies for the male equivalents.)

Shouldn't the gender value of 'woman astronaut' be '1f469' rather than null? Or is that a different category, apart from gender?

@jbrecht this is a great catch, thank you for pointing it out. It does appear that the gender for codepoints without 2640 are not being correctly set in the emoji.json file. Woman Astronaut should have a gender value of 2640 (the base code point of the female sign). We'll make the adjustments and get this published as soon as possible.

Thanks @caseyahenson !
