+That single differing case is not an ICU bug. Unicode 17.0 removed U+2701
+from `Extended_Pictographic`, so GB11 stopped applying and two clusters became
+the correct answer; newer ICU implements that change and these two older keys

 The baseline was verified on Node 22.22.2 (ICU 78.2, Unicode 17.0).
