Looks like we have 12 broken emoji per set:

```

Probably related with the optimization process.

I will have a look and also make sure we check for those empty files in the rake task.

They probably got removed during the last emoji update since they are not available in all sets (looks like they are not included in the Windows emoji set).

It would be great if we could use EmojiOne as a fallback in such cases. For example, that would allow us to add all the flags that are currently missing just because they are not supported by the Windows font.

That’s my guess too.

Yeah but why EmojiOne over Apple’s or Twitter’s?

It’s the current default emoji set, isn’t it?  
Ideally I’d choose the one with the most emojis available… Is it Apple’s set?

I manually created numbers and flags for the Windows 10 emoji set, were those lost somehow?

It is true that _by policy_ Windows **does not** include number or flag emoji. No idea why but I asked someone at MSFT and this is 100% intentional.

We didn’t lose those 10 flags. But the Emoji spec has a _lot_ of them.

Pretty sure @tgxworld fixed this a while ago.
