Flags of US and UK subregions needed

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Unicode is considering adding support for subregional flags.

My guess is the most in-demand are going to be the US states, and the four UK countries.

Spelling it out, it's actually 51 US subregions (including DC).

The list for US is at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:US (exclude those saying "outlying area", which already have a BCP47 code).

The list for UK is at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB. We only need the three countries and the one province:

GB-ENG: England
GB-NIR: Northern Ireland
GB-WLS: Wales
GB-SCT: Scotland

I implemented this a while back and there is a pull request for this which Behdad need to verify and merge.

Closing as dupe of #4
