I have switched the character set to UTF-8 and that means many standard emojis via keyboards on phones and tablets, etc.are now supported. Here are a few examples:

Typed from my phone:



The French tricolor is missing - I know not every emoji is in there but it's a start!

And what about giphys?



Yes but a bit fiddly as you need to use the upload from a url option, which means having to locate the giphy url first.

[Ian]

There is an easier giphy solution but I'd have to pay for the add-on; I'm not yet convinced anyone would use it here

My research indicates that flag emojis are not supported in Windows 10 You will be able to see them most likely on your phone but not using a computer running Windows.

That's me out then !

There are NO flags showing for me, in the emojis. So as you have said. Obviously not supported by Windows10. Also no flag emojis on my Samsung phone. So flags will not be a problem for me
