If someone attempts to copy from the "Sample Text" or "Sample Emoji" columns of the Emoji Presentation Sequences page, what they copy does not include the variation selector. The relevant HTML excerpts are below:

Sample Text: alt='♟'
Sample Emoji: alt='♟'

When one copies either image, what they get is U+265F ♟ BLACK CHESS PAWN as an atomic character with no variation selector.

What I suggest is that the tools be adjusted so that they emit the variation sequences in these HTML alt='' blobs, and in a form that is human-readable using Numeric Character References:

Sample Text: alt='♟︎'
Sample Emoji: alt='♟️'

I confirmed that copying the image results in copying the variation sequence.
