Hmm, but a character can only have one script, no? That would put
Emacs at odds with Blocks.txt, I guess thatʼs why Unicode implemented
this using character properties. Having said that, we already donʼt
exactly follow Blocks.txt anyway.

OK. We can revisit 2XXX and 3XXX later.

Ancillary question: what fonts should we use in the default fontsets
for emoji? So far I have:

X => Noto Color Emoji (+EmojiOne?)
NS => Apple Color Emoji
Windows => ?
