Apparently Unicode Inc. isn't concerned with flag emoji at all. This 'Emoji 5.0' is a completely independent standard.
Personally, I prefer reading about Unicode updates from http://babelstone.blogspot.com/ http://babelstone.blogspot.com/ ; it doesn't mix up details like those, and covers additions beyond sensationalist fluff like emoji.
- Someone 9y agoIsn't concerned? Unicode has had "regional indicators" since Unicode 6.0, and those typically get shown as flags (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Indicator_Symbol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Indicator_Symbol) Also note that http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-released.html http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-released.html lists the flags for England, Scotland, and Wales under "Flags/subdivision-flag".
