Interestingly, on my phone the so-called flag is not a flag at all, but "US" in outline.
So python behaves as expected: the 2 character string, when reversed, becomes "SU". Similar stuff happens with the other "flag" strings.
I'm sure emojis in my phone are outdated. I'm not sure how that affects whether I see a flag or letters.

- easrng 5y agoIf this was 1990 (and we somehow had the current emoji standard) SU would be the USSR flag.
- kingcharles 5y agoOut of interest, what phone and browser? The only platform I've seen that doesn't render the flags is Windows.
