Support Emojis in Guide

[horstepipe 422]

Hello

on other clients - screenshot from Emby IOS attached - I have configured some country emoji flags showing up in the guide. This does not work on the new Windows / Xbox app yet.
Would be nice to have them there, too.

Hi, as best as I understand, Windows systems do not directly support country flag emojis, but Android and iOS do. However, if you use a Windows PC plus a country flag Chrome browser extension such as Country Flag Fixer or Flagmoji, then it's possible to see the flags in the Emby web app, wherever you insert them. I don’t use Live TV, but have successfully implemented flags into Album Artist titles:

• Country Flag Fixer (as currently used in the examples) gives a flag emoji at approx. text height (my preferred extension).
• Flagmoji gives a smaller version.

Emby Android and iOS apps return their own slightly different flag variations. Because this isn’t directly Windows supported, I don’t think it will work in the Emby Windows App? Here are the same page views with the extension turned off:

The flag emojis cannot be written into Emby directly from a Windows keyboard entry, they can be copied and pasted from a relevant emoji website such as: https://emojipedia.org/flags or https://flagpedia.net/emoji. Or get them anywhere they are available?
