gollark: So depending on global geopolitical status, two regional indicators show as different amounts of characters.
gollark: If you put the U and S regional indicators together, they render as 🇺🇸. If you put random ones together, they probably won't.
gollark: The Unicode Consortium™ didn't want to try and define what is and isn't a country, so the flags are encoded as sequences of regional indicators.
