I've just Googled the subject and it sure is an eye-opener 
I found this article interesting, using Slack, https://www.howtogeek.com/450476/how-to-change-slacks-default-emoji-skin-tone/
I don't know what similarity it has to the emoji function on XF though

For me, "smilies" are basically yellow cause they were created like this.
But emojis are representing family, person, men, women, child etc... so it's normal they are representative to all community colors.
In XF phrases there is all of them but i can use only "yellow" faces, so i'm wondering how to use others tones.
Even for family category there is : man, woman - man, man - woman, woman - man, woman, girl - man, woman, boy - man, man, boy - etc... etc...
It's not a big deal i just want to know how it works.

The Unicode standard supports skin tone modifiers and other modifiers for gender and hair colours.
Your phone keyboard likely allows you to specify your preferred skin tone, gender, and hair colour either generally or on a per emoji basis, or sometimes it just lists all variants.
In many areas, particularly posts, we convert the default native emoji character into an image. We also provide some alt/title text which is why phrases for those.
As for our emoji picker and autocomplete we haven’t yet provided a way to pick anything other than the default variant. This was partly due to time constraints when we first developed the feature and partly due to not really having an ideal way to present a UI to select skin tone and other modifiers but it is on our radar to do it at some point.

Emoji Modifier Sequence
Emoji characters can be modified to use one of five different skin tone modifiers. Each tone is based on the Fitzpatrick Scale. An Emoji Modifier Sequence is...

Every device has a way to use toned emoji by default already.
In iOS you can use the tone modifier with the built in keyboard, since iOS14 it even has emoji search.
On Windows use 'Windows Key' + '.' to bring up the emoji search with modifiers for the relevant emoji
On Mac use 'Ctrl' + 'Cmd' + 'Space'
I imagine android is similar to iOS.
