If people want more flag emojis, they first need to convince the ISO to change how they deal with this case, perhaps via adding to the list of the deprecated former countries or defining a special sub-country region for the former CSA.Īnd yes, this is completely separate from the concern tried to address, since we all understand that there is absolutely no way that it's not also going to be used as a racist symbol.
Nonbinary lesbians are hella valid and their flag is so pretty <3. I dont think anyone has made this yet so Im posting it here for anyone to use. Should Unicode add flags for, say, former countries like Yugoslavia, to help remember the pan-slavic movement? Or any of several thousand other non-state flags? The simple answer is that Unicode flags are for countries, and I don't see any reason to give special status to a small group of Americans in the southern United States who have an emotional attachment to this flag.Įdit to note: The Unicode standard on this is clear - the standard governing what flags to include is ISO-3166, and Section 4 of the standard is clear.

Other corporations are finding ways to incorporate Emojis into their businesses because they find that using Emojis brings more user interaction. Apple marked July 17th as World Emoji Day and released final versions of new Emojis for iOS 11 that comes out fall of 2017. Again, I don't understand why this flag would be any different than any other non-state or former flag. As of May 2017, there is over 2,000 official Emojis in the Unicode Standard.
