admin/unidata/emoji-data.txt contains a whole section where "omitted
code points have Emoji_Presentation=No", and AFAICT NORTH EAST ARROW
is one of those omitted code points.

IIUC, the Unicode standard means for those omitted characters to display
as "text" rather than as "emoji", unless they are followed by a
variation selector[1]; maybe some adjustments in fontset.el are in
order?
