New flag in emoji

please add kurdistan flag

(Before anyone advises just reposting this in the user support forum...)

This is actually not up to Apple to implement, nor any other vendor. Emoji flags, defined by Unicode, essentially support only countries and regions that have a two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code, and currently Kurdistan does not have such a country code. (For those of us previously unfamiliar, Wikipedia says it’s a roughly defined geo-cultural region covering parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.)

Here’s a great post with full details of how emoji flags work, including discussion of the lack of support for regions like this:
