Windows 10: Flag Emoji

Windows 10 has now been out for 5 years. Why are there still no flag emoji?


It's ridiculous. It affects how webpages display in ALL the browsers. As a software developer myself, this is a rudimentary update and essential component of the OS. There have been thousands of complaints.


Is there a plan to add these?

Flag emoji are missing

On the Windows 10 onscreen keyboard, the flag emoji are completely missing. Not sure how everyone at QA overlooked this. Hm.

Can someone at Microsoft please add them? Thanks!

This is on the latest Creators Update, so no need to reply "try updating" and such
