On desktop version not all links are sent/received as links but as text, only. In Android version links are seen as link.

Example link: “Pflichtteilsergänzungsanspruch Nießbrauch - Rechtliches & mehr”

I added your case to the related message parser issue: links that have non spec chars in the location part are not clickable · Issue #16 · deltachat/message-parser · GitHub

In the desktop version 1.34.4 the Emoji country flag symbols are missing (did not check in earlier versions). Just eight general flags are available. In Android version I can see all of them.

[Simon]

screenshot? for me all flags are displayed in the picker, or do you mean in messages?
