This adds some additional flags to the default set. In addition,
it contains code that creates ligatures for some flag sequences to
others, for a few cases where we want different regions to share
the same flag. Finally, it adds default ligatures so that pairs of
regional indicator characters for which there's no predefined glyph
get a 'missing flag' glyph. This avoids cases where sequences of
regional indicator sequences accidentally match at odd locations
because of a previous mismatch.
There is no actual 'missing flag' glyph yet. The code uses an
existing emoji as a placeholder.
The tool and data was moved to nototools.
Makefile now needs to invoke the tool as a script, rather than passing
it to python, since the tool is no longer local. Running setup.py in
nototools will make the script accessible. Setup (apparently) copies
the script to /usr/local/bin and it is not automatically updated when
nototools changes, still need to figure out how to address this.
emoji-data and the code to process it might be useful, but it not
actually used by the tool at present.
The tool currently assumes that all emoji glyphs mapped by the default
cmap share the same presentation.
