Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?

Example: At the moment, the Australia flag (`:flag-au:`) has dashes but the majority of emoji names use underscores instead, This is also the case on other chat apps such as Discord.
#### Why would you like to do it?
Because it would make more sense and be less confusing to remember the names
#### How would you like to achieve it?
Change the flag `-` in the emoji names to `_`
