The country code CQ = Sark is in Unicode 16.0's list of flags / RGI list.
Unicode 16 will be finalized in September, and then it's up to the main emoji fonts to add support.
Is this something worth adding to flag/data/__init__.py, or should it wait until it becomes more usable?

The flags work fine when I have a valid country code. If I create a dummy country Code which doesn't exist then how do I detect that?
If I do flag.flag(countrycode) it gets converted to two letter code irrespective of If it's valid or not.
But I don't want to display this two letter code in my UI. Just want to display the emoji if available

It would be nice if regional flags were supported with tag sequences.

For example, flag.flagize(':GB-ENG:') would return 🏴gbeng✦ which would render as
when supported.

The Welsh flag could be ":GBWLS:" and the Scottish flag could be ":GBSCT:".

This syntax is more true to the sequence of Latin Small Letters.

I have 3-letter country codes that I'd like to convert to emoji. The list looks lie this:

IND, NGA, KEN, ITA, USA, CUB, ZAF, GBR, POL, GHA, MAR, IDN, ESP, BRA, FRA

I understand that emoji uses two-letter country codes so I cut 3-letters to 2-letters (in most cases it works). But I faced the "black flag" problem.

If I try to get emoji from unknown 2 symbols, the library may return a black flag. How can I detect that?

Moreover there are a lot of symbols that looks like "black flag" so I can't use a simple == operator.

I updated the package and noticed these right away:

flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True
flag(),  True True

The culprit is
