• Find the emoji with nearly correct country name/code.

Usage

Will return a flag, or an empty string if the flag does not found.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	emoji "github.com/yudgnahk/go-emoji-flags"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(emoji.GetFlag("VNM"))   // prints 🇻🇳
	fmt.Println(emoji.GetFlag("VN"))    // prints 🇻🇳
	fmt.Println(emoji.GetFlag("BOB"))   // prints
}

Special thanks to those repositories which helps me so much:

• go-emoji-flag
• restcountries

... and wikipedia for the understanding about countries code (especially ISO_3166) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB)

I was stuck on the countries that belongs to Great Britain, which doesn't have the same format as origin emojis (go-emoji-flag does not support these countries)
