### Description

It can be an option in docusaurus.config.js to show the flags of each locale as emoji characters for better compatibility.

I have a dilemma for this feature though

- Arguably, the flag of England is the most appropriate flag to represent the English language. But how recognizable is the English flag?
- However, often the British flag is used to represent English. Within Britain, other languages other than English are spoken — including Welsh and Scottish Gaelic.
- Often the United States flag is used to represent English — and while the USA has far more English speakers than Britain, English does not originate from the United States.

Maybe an optional Unicode character also can be embedded in the config like how it's used in below :

https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoji-flags

```
{
"code": "DK",
"emoji": "🇩🇰",
"unicode": "U+1F1E9 U+1F1F0",
"name": "Denmark",
"title": "flag for Denmark"
}
```

But it may help #7409 also.
