Emoji Flags
This is a little fun (S)CSS snippet for a poor mans emoji flag icons.
Usage
Link or include the emoji-flags.css file somehow in your project. Then define a container with a flag-[COUNTRY] class, where country is the two letter code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) of a country, there are 112 of them:
<span class="flag-de"></span>
To get this result: 🇩🇪
Why use it?
You are two lazy to compose the emoji-unicode in the markup yourself and prefer to deal with standard letters. No graphic files are getting harmed for this.
Built

Limits
