Description
Emoji often have both:
- A full-color pictoral representation (using emoji-specific font formats)
- A monotone textual representation (using regular glyph font formats)
Parley/Fontique should allow the user to specify a preference as a style and select a font with the appropriate representation during font fallback. Additionally, in some cases unicode characters U+FE0E and U+FE0F can be used to select a preference in the text stream. And Parley/Fontique should support a mode that selects the mode by using these characters.

Research direction
Start by reading Parley and Fontique's font-fallback and style-handling paths, along with the referenced MDN guidance on emoji presentation and variation selectors. Define how an explicit style preference and U+FE0E/U+FE0F-driven selection interact, then verify that fallback chooses the matching font representation in both modes.
