[Enhancement] Catalan flag 馃彺鬆仴鬆伋鬆仯鬆伌鬆伩 #574
Comments
Per the Twemoji readme: "We do not support custom emoji." |
@catgirl-doll I may just be misunderstanding but the flag of England (馃彺鬆仹鬆仮鬆仴鬆伄鬆仹鬆伩) is U+1F3F4 U+E0067 U+E0062 U+E0065 U+E006E U+E0067 U+E007F Isn't the Catalan emoji (馃彺鬆仴鬆伋鬆仯鬆伌鬆伩) just the same sort of thing, sub-divisions in the unicode standard, with the following? U+1F3F4 U+E0065 U+E0073 U+E0063 U+E0074 U+E007F The only difference being less emoji libraries support it |
The flags for England, Scotland, & Wales are the only subnational flags that are currently recommended for general interchange (RGI) by Unicode. However, flags for other subdivisions are considered valid by Unicode. These use tag sequences (just like the flags for England, Scotland, & Wales do). See Unicode Technical Standard #51: Annex C for more information. This annex uses the flags for California, Ontario, Canton Z眉rich, & Normandy as examples, but the same would apply to the flag for Catalonia, as tag sequences are valid for any subdivision, provided it has an ISO 3166-2 code. @Alzavio is correct that tl;dr: This wouldn't be a custom emoji. This is a valid use of the supported tag sequence mechanism for subnational flag emojis; though, this emoji isn't currently supported by most emoji libraries. |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While not encouraged, it's become common to have flags represent languages. Catalan being one of the most widespreadly spoken minority language in Europe (9M L1+L2, similar to Czech), meaning it's supported in a lot of applications. Though, it doesn't have an emoji flag to represent it, which presents some annoying workarounds each time it needs to be added.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'm requesting the Catalan flag to be added, similar to how Wales, and Scotland were. There was an old thread about this before Wales was added with someones attempt, but I don't know how to reopen it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating and using a modified svg of the Catalan flag, however doing that often just for Catalan is annoying. OpenMoji does support it, but Twemoji is more widely used and recognizable.
