Even though I continue to believe there *should* be a vexillology
standard for encoding flags as unambiguously as practicable, I'm in
strong agreement that this is not a Unicode problem, or a character
problem, or even a CLDR problem.

If there were such a standard today, it might make sense for Unicode
and/or CLDR to adapt it for the emoji purposes we are discussing here.
But there isn't.
