Tip for people trying to type flag emoji in the comments: you need to use the regional indicator tags (regular letters don't work) and for subregions you have to start them with 🏴 and end them with the cancel tag character (the one with the code U+E007F) which is unfortunately very hard to copy-paste.

From their website, "Because “International Organization for Standardization” would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders opted for the short form “ISO”. The story goes that ISO is derived from the Greek word “isos”, meaning equal" TLDR- ISO is not an acronym, and it's not the International Standards Organization.

Good video. A major reason the Unicode consortium doesn’t want to add any new flags is that despite being probably the most requested new emojis they’re actually the least used category of emoji, and like you said they’d have to code literal thousands if they want to be fair. Emoji itself is fairly controversial in Unicode internally, with many viewing it as a simple waste of time and resources that should instead be dedicated to encoding endangered and historical writing systems, as well as things like additional CJKV characters.

It's hilarious that the Unicode Consortium didn't want to touch the hot potato of deciding what countries count but were perfectly happy to propose Han Unification without any understanding of the different ways Chinese characters are used across Korea, Vietnam, China, Japan, and the other countries that use them to some extent or another. It's so bad that on your iPhone you will get the wrong characters for whichever language's keyboard you install second (e.g. if you install Mandarin and then Japanese you will have your Japanese rendered with simplified Chinese characters even though the Japanese characters started diverging from the Chinese ones several centuries ago). tl;dr Unicode picks weird things to try to be sensitive about given their history.

I'd argue that a lot of people who use the Chilean flag as the Texan one, don't realise their mistake. There's a truckload of hyper-patriotic, dont-tread-on-me pfp people, that sincerely think and use the Chilean flag as a Texan flag. Sometimes, whenever I'd feel a little down, I would seek out these people and point out their misteak. It was always funny whenever they'd swiftly remove the Chilean flag form their Twitter pronouns/bio, or if they'd defend their choice.

I found the Texas flag emoji 🏴on Emojipedia and pasted it into WhatsApp and it worked! Just out of curiosity, I tried New Mexico and it just showed up as a black flag. 🏴 By the way, I pasted both of these into this comment, so if they ever do support state flags on whatever platform you're using, they'll show up.

Fun fact about UK flag emoji: very few emoji fonts actually support them. They also don't want to because one of the four countries, Northern Ireland, doesn't have an official flag and picking any of the unofficial ones is seen as a political statement. For context; the three most commonly used flags for NI are the Red Hand of Ulster, the Flag of Ulster, and St Patrick's Saltire. But neither the regional government nor Westminster nor Dáil Éireann have agreed upon a flag that satisfies all parties. Thus when a flag emoji is needed for sporting events, different websites and organisations use one of the three above or the Union Flag. And some allow the athlete to pick which flag is shown.

Would anything change once a territory with an already existing flag emoji becomes a country? For example, Greenland is well on its way to gaining independence soon but since it already has a flag emoji, I assume no changes would be made to the ISO 3166 since countries are on the same leverage as dependent territories
@SignoreGalilei
12 сағат бұрын
ISO 3166 would probably not change the code. My guess is it might change some other information about the territory/country, but that wouldn't affect the emoji. Some of the dependent territories in ISO 3166-1 don't have subdivisions in ISO 3166-2, though, which might change if those territories became independent.

You should've probably explained that the reason that England, Scotland, and Wales specifically get to be displayed is because of several sports (most notably football ⚽) that have the four nations of the UK compete as separate entities due to how those sports historically developed.
