# isEmojiModifier

A Boolean value indicating whether the scalar is one that can modify
a base emoji that precedes it.

```
var isEmojiModifier: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

The Fitzpatrick skin types are examples of emoji modifiers; they change
the appearance of the preceding emoji base (that is, a scalar for which
`isEmojiModifierBase` is true) by rendering it with a different skin tone.

This property corresponds to the “Emoji_Modifier” property in the
[Unicode Standard](http://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/).
