Add emoji flags #224

Closed NilsEnevoldsen closed 4 years ago

NilsEnevoldsen commented 4 years ago

Add Unicode region subtags as pairs of Regional Indicator Symbols. Region subtags represent regions, not flags. When composed of Regional Indicator Symbols, they are displayed as flags on most systems, but on Windows they are displayed as pairs of letters.

Unicode lists valid Unicode region subtags. They are based on ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
