There must be a Unicode geek here who can explain why the heart emojis include grey, pink, and light blue variants, but the circles and squares donβt?

Existing Emoji compatibility basically.
Without looking through all the docs, I suspect that the coloured circles already existed in Japanese phones - so were encoded "as-is".The hearts are more modern - https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21075-heart-emoji-coverage.pdf

Digging around a bit, I've already found 6 different Unicode versions adding coloured hearts:
- οΈ added in 1.1
- 6.0

- 𧑠10.0

Totally well-organized
