feat(symbols): people drawn in no one's skin, gender or age by default
Pictograms must be international in how they show gender, ethnicity and
age. Following Unicode's emoji model (UTS #51):

- Skin. Every person in Mulberry and OpenMoji is drawn in a generic,
  non-realistic colour -- UTS #51's own example, #FFCC22 (OpenMoji's
  lemon would melt into Mulberry's lemon hair, clothes and objects) --
  or in the skin tone the person chooses: one of the five modifiers
  U+1F3FB-U+1F3FF, in OpenMoji's colours (aac_core:🔣:SkinTone).
  The build writes skin as the CSS custom property --aac-skin (OpenMoji's
  skin shadow as --aac-skin-shade) over a neutral fill, so a renderer
  without the style still draws a person neutral, never black.
  - Mulberry: its authors' aac-skin-fill markers where present; for the
    rest, a reviewed decision per symbol in people.toml (a cake's icing
    and a computer case share the skin colour). The build stops on a
    missing or stale decision.
  - OpenMoji: its skin layers, checked element by element against its
    own toned variants.
  A visual audit of all 397 mapped symbols with the skin colour shown as
  magenta, and an adversarial second look, confirmed every call;
  people-review.md lists every symbol that draws a person and how.
- Gender and age. Where Mulberry drew a man's face or a child for a word
  that names neither (the feelings, Speak, eat, drink, doctor, teacher,
  police, hi...), OpenMoji's emoji face (no gender, age or skin) or
  Unicode's gender-neutral person is used instead; police wears a cap
  worn worldwide, not a British helmet.
- Hair keeps its colour whatever the tone.
- App: Settings > Symbols > People in pictures, and the same choice in
  setup; kept with the symbol set and applied on the app root.
- SPEC 4.3 (proposed): people in symbols.

People in symbols

Generated by tools/symbols/build.py — do not edit; change people.toml and rebuild.

A person is drawn in Unicode's generic, non-realistic colour (#ffcc22) unless the person using the board chooses one of the five skin tones of the emoji modifiers (aac_core::symbols::people). Every symbol below draws a person or part of one. A symbol in the chosen tone has its skin — and in OpenMoji the skin's shadow, where its own toned variants change it — written as the CSS custom properties --aac-skin and --aac-skin-shade; one as drawn keeps the set's colours, for the reason given. Hair keeps its colour whatever the tone.
