Same character every time — U+1F93E U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Woman Playing Handball was approved as U+1F93E U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F and shipped in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🤾♀️ is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
