Comparing supported unicodes between this library and https://github.com/MinnDevelopment/emoji-java

I am not sure on how to proceed on this. The unicode source file excludes the regional indicators. Appearently there are some issues associated to the indicators seen here and here and that's why I think the regional indicators as a component are not included in the source file.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_indicator_symbol Also mentions, that the regional indicator symbols are intended to be used to encode two-letter country codes. When looking at other websites, most of them don't have a symbol to display regional indicators so Discord seems to be a unicorn in that regard. I am not sure if there would be any downside in adding them as a component, but I haven't seen any other emoji library / emoji lists listing them
