i was referring to the fact that last time i checked, HN stripped emoji. hold on let me check:

edit: yeah, my cat got removed :/

I guess they're distinguished by unicode block: the regional indicator letters are "Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement", and emoji are "Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs". still not sure why remove them though

Can you see my UN flag? I also posted one of their easter island faces but that got stripped.

But I had to zoom right in to see which flag it was. So it fails as a flag.

actually no, i can't! it just shows "U N" in a bold blue capital letters, which explains some of the confusion i guess. (Android 7.0)
