Which emoji database is used?

I am making a Marp presentation containing several country flags.

As a general rule, I've been using :country: to display a flag, where "country" is taken as the "GitHub" entry for a certain country at https://emojipedia.org/.

This works for the most part, but for some countries it doesn't. In particular, I cannot find a way to display sub-UK flags (England, Scotland, Wales) other thank copy-pasting the code from Emojipedia itself, which is not ideal.

It seems that the emoji style used is the one from Twitter, which makes me think it should be able to display these flags.

How do I display these flags using the :country: format, then?

Marp is using a plugin based on markdown-it-emoji v1.4.0 to render emoji shorthands. The list of shorthands is here.

markdown-it-emoji had not updated in the last 3 years, but recently it has updated into v2 a month ago, including updated emoji DB. Pull request for bumping markdown-it-emoji in https://github.com/marp-team/marp-core is welcome.

UPDATE: Marp Core v1.4.0 has included an updated emoji DB from markdown-it-emoji v2.0.0. Marp tools depending on Marp Core v1.4.0 can use extra 358 shorthands for emoji.
