		faebi on Jan 27, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why can't you reverse a string with a flag emoji? Why reverse them if one barely can implement, display and edit them correctly. I never could make them work perfectly in VIM. Also I had to open a bug in Firefox recently: Flag emojis and others are displayed in double the size on Windows 10 using Firefox Nightly https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1746795

Windows doesn't even have flag emojis, they just show up as the country code.

Edit: Actually Firefox ships a copy of twemoji for fallback purposes, so flags will still render.
