It's less of an issue with menus as Unicode. We only have ~1 million Unicode codepoints in total. Wasting one for ever local flag would be a mistake.
Maybe they could be implemented as combinations of country flag + some kind of reusable region indicator. Like US+33 for Oregon.
That is how the current flags are implemented, and how the state flags were proposed. This proposal wouldn't have used any additional codepoints.

#43It’s quite upsetting to know we had to opportunity to get a Frowning Pile of Poo emoji and it was rejected! The current poo emoji is too happy!

The "Pregnant Person" is another, different, variant! https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-person/ https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-man/ https://emojipedia.org/pregnant-woman/
Right. Because the system is to have woman, man, and neutral for everything. Saves debate for more important things.
The party in power wins by default on the little stuff. The opposition must "save their debate for more important things."

Just like how eggplant and peach emoji are used for representing things other than fruit and vegetables, I'd expect pregnant man to find its own niche in time. It doesn't take a genius to guess that it will be used by a lot of guys who just ate an enormous burrito.

#46Would have been nice if they did US state flags.

#47I like the bloated balloon one and a period/pre-period emojis would be good. A few women in my life (managers/directors/executives) are terrified to talk about their periods because it could be used against them. I'm going to risk turning this into one of those "Normalize " tweets.. But cramps, bloating, irritability, pain, any number of other things. I want a status emoji for headaches and "didn't sleep well". Somet…
I would love a “Hi I’ve been in meetings for 5 hours and forgot to eat” emoji. But instead I have to be double extra cautious I don’t come off as short or mean when people have boneheaded ideas.

Man with veil looks like a formal wear kaffiyeh. I feel like they are missing emojis representing amputees of different types.
Also. There is no bald man, or facial hair variations. But there is a bearded women. https://emojipedia.org/woman-beard/

Look up proposal L2/20-190. They provide a number of good reasons for pregnant man. To summarize: - It avoids gender stereotyping of men in Parenthood. - couples say "we are pregnant". The term pregnant is culturally used for men too as their search shows. - the emoji is not just for pregnancy, it is also for feeling bloated, full, and hungry. I sometimes used this emoji for saying that I'm expecting something. My pa…
