Edit: all' those pretty trans flags show up correctly on kbin v.v

juliebean,

pretty much whenever i see plain white flags on the fedivers at this point, i tend to assume they’re supposed to be trans flags.

I usually like to use

🩵 🩷 🤍 🩷 🩵

juliebean,

see, to me, those just look like a couple of boxes on either side of a white heart. what is it meant to resemble?

Interesting. It’s the trans flag colors in heart emojis.

Getallen,

I dont think android has those emojis.

CADmonkey,

I’m using liftoff, and I see the trans flags also.

I think it’s a matter of instance, not sure though

It's probably mainly operating system.

The trans flag is not encoded directly in Unicode. By convention, it's implemented by combining a white flag with the transgender planet symbol (Linnaean).

>>> import unicodedata
>>> list(map(unicodedata.name, "🏳‍⚧"))
['WAVING WHITE FLAG', 'ZERO WIDTH JOINER', 'MALE WITH STROKE AND MALE AND FEMALE SIGN']

(Sometimes it also has a variation selector at the end.)

Some systems will replace this with an image; others fall back on the client-side font renderer.

Oh I didn’t know this, that’s really interesting!

Many pride flags have obvious encodings (e.g. 🏳‍☿, 🏳‍⚢, 🏳‍⚣, 🏳‍⚤, 🏳‍⚲), but I haven't found one for :nonbinary_flag: : the obvious symbol (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nonbinary_Gender_Symbol.svg) is not in Unicode.

It's possible to petition the Unicode consortium to add characters, but it looks like a lot of effort: https://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html (and I'm too shy). They don't accept direct proposals for flags: https://blog.unicode.org/2022/03/the-past-and-future-of-flag-emoji.html

That’s curious, I can’t see any of the pride flags you put as an example. The only ones I can see are the regular pride flag and the trans flag.
