for some reason, `"tags": ["custom"]` fucked up /test/emoji_test.rb, so removing for now
`custom?()` relied on `raw` to be empty, which means there would be no Unicode representation at all, but we are introducing custom ZWJ sequences for that here

This fails because the code currently expects all custom emojis to have no Unicode representation (raw, unicode_aliases.first), which is exactly what I'm trying to change here, but I don't speak Ruby and my trial-and-error approach documented above wasn't successful. (This pull request should be squash-merged if it's fixed.)

Hi thanks for the suggestion! Why would it be useful to have ZJW sequences for custom emoji? How are people expected to input such sequences?

They would be copied in plain-text environments, i.e. while the Octocat cannot​ be shown, 🐱🐙 can and users would be able to guess or learn what is missing there.
