Most emoji now have "W", for example:
1F600..1F64F;W # So [80] GRINNING FACE..PERSON WITH FOLDED HANDS
That seems correct because emoji behave more like Ideographs.
Isn’t this the same for “CIRCLED NUMBER TEN ON BLACK SQUARE”?
This seems to me also more like an Ideograph.
Not really. They have existed since extremely long without being bound
to ideographs or sinographic requirements on metrics. Notably their
baseline and vertical extension do not follow the sinographic
em-square layout convention (except when they are rendered with CJK
fonts, or were encoded in documents with legacy CJK encodings, also
rendered with suitable CJK fonts being then prefered to Latin fonts
which won't use the large siongraphic metrics).
If they were like emojis, they would actually be larger : I think it
is a case for definining a Emoji-variant for them (where they could
also be colored or have some 3D-like look)
There's an emoji variant for the standard digits.
