I'd love the flag of Aboriginal Australia to be included too! I always think it's really disappointing that it isn't included anywhere, particularly if Star Trek is going to be represented. Any help?

    I think the 'any help' acknowledges that while also implying GP doesn't feel up to it.

  I was going to suggest that there might be a copyright issue, but it looks like that may have changed last year. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-24/aboriginal-flag-copyright-transferred-to-commonwealth/100778324 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-24/aboriginal-flag-copyr...

These are cool, it would be nice if there were also waving flag versions to match the styles of the leading emoji sets (eg Apple and Google). Most of them use some form of wavy flag: https://emojipedia.org/flag-european-union#designs https://emojipedia.org/flag-european-union#designs
