One could argue that the flag does not contain text as such. '10 000 km'
consists of numerals and a symbol that are common to all languages, and
therefore recognisable regardless of what language you speak or where you
live.

I know that some flags do have text - this seems to have been a trends in
the 19th century. Historically the flag was an emblem that was recognisable
without text.

Some flags do have text. There's a North Carolina flag with some dates, and
a California flag with "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC", and Iranian and Saudi flags
with inscriptions in different forms of the Arabic script.
