Slack Emoji Scopes

Currently, Slack offers more than 1700 emojis available to pick. Below table summarizes which emojis are migrated and which could introduce possible problems:

Country flags like flags_single cannot be displayed on MS Teams Client installed on Windows. Instead, windows displays country flags codes like: flags_single_broken. It is due to internal Windows Unicode implementation of unicode characters (see discussion here). On MS Teams client installed on MacOS all flags are displayed correctly. On client demand all emoji flags can be replaced with generic flag.
