I never said the flag emojis were special.
I've been a software engineers for almost 30 years.
I know what Unicode code pages are.
This is not helpful. How is my example missing your definition of understanding?
Replace the flags with yours if it helps ... same thing.
It's not the flags it's the understanding of what they are. They can be pirate ships or cats.
In my example they are surrender flags, because that is logical given the conversation.
It will "understand" that too. But the article says it can't do that. And the article, sorry, is wrong.
