I like how the Unicode Consortium really doesn't want to accept any more flags, but you can still probably shoehorn them in if you're Apple or Google and you have a glyph sequence that is backwards compatible. One way of getting things done -- just do it.

I knew the details behind this because Windows 10 didn't include font with the trans flag by default, and so it always rendered as flag + trans symbol. I eventually installed the emoji font from the Windows 11 betas and found much of what I read to suddenly be a lot nicer looking.

P.S. I love the effects on this website :3

That's true, they won't process any proposals for flags anymore. The first link in the linked post is a detailed FAQ from the Unicode people:

> Flags for countries with Unicode region codes [ie. recognized by ISO] are automatically recommended, with no proposals necessary! [...] the Emoji Subcommittee is no longer taking in any proposals for flags of any kind.

They have a section addressing new pride flags specifically near the end of the FAQ.

China really doesn't want to accept more flag emojis. For fairly obvious reasons.

I dont really think that makes sense as Taiwan flag is already there.
