Add images for characters having an emoji glyph on other major platforms

https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/issues/169 This issue depends on the resolution of #62.

Font (and image) vendors are free to use colorful emoji glyphs for characters that do not (yet) have the Emoji property set in emoji-data.txt and hence are not shown in Unicode’s full emoji list. Microsoft, Samsung and LG, at least, are already doing so for a varying number of characters, see this Google Spreadsheet which is based on a similar one prepared by the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee. It includes 5 code points that should be supported anyway, because they are in Emoji 4.0, and we are supporting 2 of them already. Some of the new images would be minor transformations (rotation, main color) of existing ones.

U+	Platforms	Name
002A	1	Asterisk

2640	1	Female Sign
2642	1	Male Sign
