Almost two months ago now, I've reworked the entire flag emojis project. Kinda took a while to get to writing this post... The entire build process was remade with Make, and the entire font is now compiled from sources directly from twemoji's repo. Additionally, all the emojis are now properly sized (same width as Fluent 3D's emojis), the font now integrates perfectly with Windows 8 through 11, and also includes new 17.0 emojis that aren't yet in Fluent 3D!

I've also prepared a cool new installation method! Simply run this in PowerShell:

Ideal for unattended installations and auto-updates! Let me know how well it works.

Unlike literally any other platform or OS, Windows never had flag emojis, and that always irked me a little bit. Having to guess what flag someone else is trying to send by just two letters isn't a great user experience, you know. And I always just kinda sighed at it, helplessly.

But not this time... Last week, the absence of flag emojis in Windows has triggered me like never before, and I've spent 14+ hours hyperfocused on the task of bringing flag emojis to Windows (while keeping all its original emojis). I experimented with fonts, and made one that works. And you can download it too!

TL;DR: Install this font for all users, restart your PC, and enjoy! (more details here)
