Flags are based on the ISO 3166 standards, which consider those three
islands as a single entity coded as BQ (which the codepoints you mention
stand for). There is no one flag that represents the group in question
specifically. The designers of most emoji fonts chose the Bonaire flag
because it is the most populated of them (Facebook goes the other way and
simply shows the Dutch tricolor).

Flags for second-level entities are encodable, but generally not implemented
except for England, Scotland, and Wales.
