--- Quote from: magic on May 18, 2021, 08:19:45 am --- --- Quote from: tooki on May 17, 2021, 05:52:22 pm ---The fact that emoji spread from a Japan-only SMS novelty to something fundamentally supported on all platforms and used on a daily basis would hint at them not being “unnecessary gimmicks”. Being dismissive of it is just gonna get you in trouble, if you’re a developer of any kind. FWIW, Linux was the last major holdout platform; Mac and Windows have had emoji support for a decade at this point, it’s nothing new. --- End quote --- I use Linux and never experience that deficiency ;D It is a gimmick, I'm not even sure who or what uses it. But I would sooner use a poo than some "flag" which isn't even guaranteed to display as a flag. Sorry guys, AFAIK Microsoft is perfectly compliant here by displaying the English abbreviation. That's what Unicode is about these days, shoving English down people's throats and pure white supremacy :P Poo at least is somewhat international and I don't think anyone in the world would have major doubts about the meaning. Poo is unironically a better fit for Unicode's mission. --- End quote --- White supremacy. lol Unicode supports the flags of plenty of countries with a majority black population and the emojis even support different skin colours. 🇯🇲 👳🏾👦🏻👩🏽👧🏿 |

Windows displays the flags as the two-letter ISO 3166 country codes, the same ones as country domains in URLs. (Which is also how the flags are encoded under the hood.) |

I shouldn't have started it. It's a load of.💩 |
