Can I pull country flags?

[soroosj]

Is there a means to use search_emoji to extract country flags? I can see country flags in this emoji list: (https://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode) but a null value is returned.

Example is search_emoji('flag: Germany').

I figured it out.

@soroosj what was the solution?

Here is a reprex with different attempts

library(emojifont)
library(ggplot2)

search_emoji('\U1F1E9')
#> NULL

search_emoji('flags: Germany')
#> NULL

search_emoji('Germany')
#> NULL

search_emoji('flag')
#> [1] "flags"                   "white_flag"             
#> [3] "black_flag"              "checkered_flag"         
#> [5] "triangular_flag_on_post" "rainbow_flag"           
#> [7] "crossed_flags"

ggplot() + geom_emoji('\U1F1E9', color='steelblue') + theme_void()
#> Invalid: 🇩
#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (`geom_text()`).

ggplot() + geom_emoji('🇩🇪', color='steelblue') + theme_void()
#> Invalid: 🇩🇪
