Heres What People Are Actually Seeing By Patrick Lucas Austin Febru1:02 PM EST M ultiple reports have emerged recently concerning the.
If people want more flag emojis, they first need to convince the ISO to change how they deal with this case, perhaps via adding to the list of the deprecated former countries or defining a special sub-country region for the former CSA.Īnd yes, this is completely separate from the concern tried to address, since we all understand that there is absolutely no way that it's not also going to be used as a racist symbol. No, There Isnt Really an Anti-LGBT Emoji. Should Unicode add flags for, say, former countries like Yugoslavia, to help remember the pan-slavic movement? Or any of several thousand other non-state flags? The simple answer is that Unicode flags are for countries, and I don't see any reason to give special status to a small group of Americans in the southern United States who have an emotional attachment to this flag.Įdit to note: The Unicode standard on this is clear - the standard governing what flags to include is ISO-3166, and Section 4 of the standard is clear. Along with the rainbow flag emoji, it’s commonly used to express LGBTQ identity and pride. When not representing the meteorological phenomenon, the emoji can express various positive emotions, such as happiness, feelings of togetherness, hope, and good fortune.
I dont know if you will ever have to use these anti-gay, Nazi emojis but if you want to, you will have to copy it and then paste it from different places of the Internet. Again, I don't understand why this flag would be any different than any other non-state or former flag. The rainbow emoji depicts a colorful arc of a rainbow. So, these emojis are banned and are considered illegal.
