Duplicate arrows

SUMMARY
Many emojis from the Emoji Selector appear to have two variants, and it's not at all clear for the non-Unicode-technical user what the difference is (I had to use a text viewer and dig into posts like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38100329/what-does-u-ufe0f-in-an-emoji-mean-is-it-the-same-if-i-delete-it to understand the difference). Mousing over them only shows "E0.6" in front the emoji's name.  How is the user supposed to pick one? Why do both exist? Can they be better differentiated?

EXAMPLES
* the majority of `arrow`s
* airplane
* small airplane
* some hearts

Thanks for reporting! Yes, this is indeed a problem that would be good if it could get resolved. Unfortunately it seems to be an upstream issue with ibus and I'm not sure how feasible it is to make a workaround. I sure hope someone tries. Anyways, there is more information about this in the other bug report about this. :^)
