I've just noticed that under iOS 5 some of the Emoji are missing - specifically the flags. The flags show up correctly on the Emoji keyboard, but when you type them you get a text representation of the country in a dotted box.

For example, in the image below the first two Emoji show up fine, but when I tap the UK flag, it just displays G B.

Not sure if Emojis are enabled now by default in iOS5 as I had previously enabled them in iOS4.

This might not be a major issue, but it's a PITA for me because I (stupidly with hindsight) used one of the flags in my Game Center sign-in name so now I can't sign-in any more!

Oh, and if there's any kind soul out there who can still use the Emoji flags and wouldn't mind helping me access my Game Center account to change my ID, then please drop me a PM! :(
