Me on my way to declare independence in disputed contested territories just so I can bother the Unicode Consortium and the ISO to do their work on flag emojis
i clicked on this video assuming that it was going to be a meme about how chile's flag looks like texas, instead i learned more about unicode, thanks mate
From their website, "Because “International Organization for Standardization” would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), its founders opted for the short form “ISO”. The story goes that ISO is derived from the Greek word “isos”, meaning equal" TLDR- ISO is not an acronym, and it's not the International Standards Organization.
I'd argue that a lot of people who use the Chilean flag as the Texan one, don't realise their mistake. There's a truckload of hyper-patriotic, dont-tread-on-me pfp people, that sincerely think and use the Chilean flag as a Texan flag. Sometimes, whenever I'd feel a little down, I would seek out these people and point out their misteak. It was always funny whenever they'd swiftly remove the Chilean flag form their Twitter pronouns/bio, or if they'd defend their choice.

It's hilarious that the Unicode Consortium didn't want to touch the hot potato of deciding what countries count but were perfectly happy to propose Han Unification without any understanding of the different ways Chinese characters are used across Korea, Vietnam, China, Japan, and the other countries that use them to some extent or another. It's so bad that on your iPhone you will get the wrong characters for whichever language's keyboard you install second (e.g. if you install Mandarin and then Japanese you will have your Japanese rendered with simplified Chinese characters even though the Japanese characters started diverging from the Chinese ones several centuries ago). tl;dr Unicode picks weird things to try to be sensitive about given their history.
I found the Texas flag emoji 🏴on Emojipedia and pasted it into WhatsApp and it worked! Just out of curiosity, I tried New Mexico and it just showed up as a black flag. 🏴 By the way, I pasted both of these into this comment, so if they ever do support state flags on whatever platform you're using, they'll show up.
I hope somebody has already made a font with all 5k subregions I was expecting subregions to have 3 letter codes, not a black flag and cancel. Though with 5k you'd probably run out
I think 3-letters is (barely) enough not to run out for 5k, but some would have pretty nonsensical combinations that wouldn't relate to the region's name.
For those who care... that's the wrong Utah state flag in the picture of all the USA state flags. I know, it's only Utah! The 5th most boring state to live in. Tho it's my home, so of course I'm gonna notice it!!! Check out the new flag. It's not so boring and plain anymore.

Amazing - you're welcome!

Thanks - I'll put a correction in the description
a lot of texans I know (me included) jokingly use 🇨🇱 sometimes!
Cool!

I usually use 🇸🇴🇵🇱 for Texas, making sure of no space between the two.

It's just a white flag with a blue question mark

you would still have 12k codes left

🏴, this is the flag of the Basque, they speak gibberish or smth, but yeah, it looks like the UK

Dang. I got the image from wiki commons, didn't realize it was out of date.
@SignoreGalilei It's still so new that I doubt you'd find that image with the new flag. It's still a great video. Thank you for the content.
Really well written
HOW DARE THEY NOT RECOGNIZE THE GREATEST REGION IN THE WORLD
Yeehaw 🤠🇨🇱

Chile🇨🇱:hey twinnnnnn!slayyy
Yeah those flags are really similar
As someone from the state of Maryland i really wish they had state flag emojis so i can use it any time i talk bout Maryland
Maryland has a cool flag for sure.
they gotta add back all the us states.
“Signore Galilei” is wrong, “Signor Galilei” is the correct way.
Clearly every us state has a flag emoji
