This is bullshit unicode. So much bullshit. In what way do we need a purple splat?

Unicode 16.0 release with new emoji brings character count to 154,998
New designs will roll out to phones, tablets, and PCs over the next few months.

@onepict TIL no more flags are being accepted into Unicode, thanks to your post:
Our Response To Unicode’s Announcement About Flags
Unicode is making a wrong move by banning new flags. Find out why.

Happy the rainbow and trans flags got in before the door closed! To some extent the rainbow flag is a good "catch all" for the community I hope?

@sam @flancian I think it's just not a thing they can resonate with, so they don't rate it as important.
But when you can have emojis with bags under their eyes, I kinda feel there's other stuff getting in the way.
They just don't want to have more prideflags. We have folks asking, and they are resistant to even considering how to enable it.
It's attitude rather than practicality.

@sam @flancian But personally I see it as erasure of the different identities.
I see this announced batch as frivolous. Like you don't have to have the complex pride flags.
But the simple ones including the intersex flag you could have.
But clearly no one in their circles has folks who would use those flags.
Otherwise I suspect we'd get those flags.
