Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Web - Emoji - Flag emoji category is missing

What is the root cause of that problem?

#32396 was reverted in #31479

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Add back changes in #32396
So just remove windows code here:

App/assets/emojis/index.ts

Lines 36 to 49 in de5a943

	// On windows, flag emojis are not supported
	const emojisForOperatingSystem =
	getOperatingSystem() === CONST.OS.WINDOWS
	? emojis.slice(
	0,
	emojis.findIndex((emoji) => {
	if (!('header' in emoji)) {
	return;
	}
	return emoji.header && emoji.code === 'flags';
	}),
	)
	: emojis;

This is not a blocker and caused by two changes at the same time @TMisiukiewicz will handle this as a follow up to their PR, left a comment here https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/31479/files#r1436483172

[mountiny]

Or given @TMisiukiewicz will be out til new year and given the change should be simple @mkhutornyi are you up for making this PR for $125?

@JmillsExpensify, @mountiny, @mkhutornyi Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[mountiny]

this issue stemmed from incorrectly resolved conflicts and th author of the PR has already been notified, I think that is enough as far as the checklist goes here

Payment here is $125 to @mkhutornyi

[mountiny]

No regression test required for this either I think

[melvin-bot]

@JmillsExpensify, @mountiny, @mkhutornyi Still overdue 6 days?! Let's take care of this!

[melvin-bot]

@JmillsExpensify, @mountiny, @mkhutornyi 10 days overdue. I'm getting more depressed than Marvin.

[melvin-bot]

@JmillsExpensify, @mountiny, @mkhutornyi 12 days overdue now... This issue's end is nigh!
