That is a good suggestion, but the problem is that not every ISO 3166 code is a valid Regional Indicator Symbol pair. There are also other codes that cannot be derived from the ISO 3166 code, such as the flags for England, Scotland, and Wales, which are represented by a different Unicode/emoji mechanism called Tags (e.g., the flag of Scotland is represented by the Unicode emoji (waving black flag) followed by the tag-characters 'gbsct'). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tags_(Unicode_block) > If you add it as a separate tag, then there's the risk that data becomes > different from the ISO code. I'm not too worried about that. Countries tend to remain rather stable on the map; any changes usually imply countries changing names (and regimes), splitting up, or combining with other countries, and garner a lot of scrutinization. I would wager that name:Zsye will be updated before at least half of the other name-tags is.

Of course the proposal should reflect on how to ensure the correct Regional Indicator Symbol pairs are added. One way to do this, is by using the exsiting ISO3166-1:alpha2 and flag keys, and verify that the flag rendered via Regional Indicator Symbols matches the flag-value.

However I'm also not aware of any case. There seems to be some confusion about what name:Zsye is about. While the ISO 15924 script code 'Zsye' is labelled 'emoji', the edit proposed by Ferdinand0101 mainly introduces Regional Indicator Symbol pairs for countries. These pairs tend to resolve to those countries' flags, e.g., , which you may see rendered as the Dutch flag, is composed of two of these Regional Indicator Symbols that represent 'N' and 'L' (i.e., and ). If done correctly, this would mean you could search OSM for a flag copy/pasted from somewhere (like chat), and get the region represented by that flag as a search result.

Many emojis are indecipherable unless you're already familiar with them. So this is how the search would actually go... Do a search to see if a Mount Everest emoji exists. If it does, copy and paste it into the OSM search box. It is far easier and quicker to just type "mount everest" into OSM than type "mount everest emoji" into google so you can copy and paste the result, if there is one, into OSM. There are few, if any, use cases where the cosmetic enhancement of the few relevant emojis would make sense or improve the map in any meaningful way.
