It is a standard for the encoding and interchange of characters.
Even though I continue to believe there *should* be a vexillology standard for encoding flags as unambiguously as practicable, I'm in strong agreement that this is not a Unicode problem, or a character problem, or even a CLDR problem. If there were such a standard today, it might make sense for Unicode and/or CLDR to adapt it for the emoji purposes we are discussing here. But there isn't. -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸
