Female emoji take up more characters for you because your phone erroneously uses the unmarked, genderless default as the counterpart to an explicitly gendered one. Male and female detective take exactly the same amount of characters, but your keyboard does not include the male detective–only the neutral one, and Twitter presently displays the neutral version identically to the male version.

Depending on the platform you use and the emoji you chose the default will almost always be indistinguishable from the male or female one.
