In the current UTR50 data, the following pointing indexes are MVO=R:

‎U+261A ☚ BLACK LEFT POINTING INDEX
‎U+261B ☛ BLACK RIGHT POINTING INDEX
‎U+261C ☜ WHITE LEFT POINTING INDEX
‎U+261D ☝ WHITE UP POINTING INDEX
‎U+261E ☞ WHITE RIGHT POINTING INDEX
‎U+261F ☟ WHITE DOWN POINTING INDEX

But the following pointing indexes are MVO=U:
(Miscellaneous Symbols And Pictographs)
‎U+1F446 WHITE UP POINTING BACKHAND INDEX
‎U+1F447 WHITE DOWN POINTING BACKHAND INDEX
‎U+1F448 WHITE LEFT POINTING BACKHAND INDEX
‎U+1F449 WHITE RIGHT POINTING BACKHAND INDEX

It seems inconsistent. Is there any reason of that?
