Public bug reported:
A notification was sent which contained an emoji flag and RTL text. The
flag shown in the popup was not the flag which was intended to show. The
system is in LTR mode, I did not test with the whole system configured
RTL.
Example code:
$ notify-send "test๐ฎ๐ฑ"
$ notify-send "ืืืืงื๐ฎ๐ฑ"
The first one correctly shows the Israeli flag, the second one displayed
the flag of Lichtenstein.
I noticed that the flag code for Israel is IL and for Lichtenstein LI.
It seems to me that when the text is being interpreted as RTL, it
somehow flips the flag code, causing it to be interpreted incorrectly.
