As of 2022 the Unicode Consortium will not accept proposals for any new flags. Moving forward, anything with an ISO 3166-1 code will automatically get a flag. The Iraq Kurdistan subdivision mentioned below has a 3166-2 subcode, so doesn't automatically get a flag pushed though. They could've worded it less confusingly, but the rest of the article is quite thorough. > As a recent example, Kurdistan (a subdivision of Iraq) became an official subdivision in ISO 3166-2 (IQ-KR) on May 3, 2021. The corresponding Unicode subdivision code (iqkr) is slated for release in CLDR v41 on Apr 6, 2022. At that point the flag for Kurdistan will officially be valid — any platform, app, or font could support it. But that doesn’t mean it automatically gets in the queue for everyone’s phone. Only countries with ISO 3166-1 region codes are automatically recommended and require no proposal to move forward. https://blog.unicode.org/2022/03/the-past-and-future-of-flag... | ||
