Representing Additional Types of Flags

<http://unicode.org/announcements/flag-snippets.jpg>The UTC is
considering a proposal to extend the types of flags which can be
reliably represented by certain sequences of Unicode characters. In
addition to the current mechanism using pairs of regional indicator
symbols---already widely implemented---the proposal would use sequences
of the TAG characters in the range U+E0030..U+E005A to represent other
types of flags. The proposal also provides guidelines to specify valid
sequences of TAG characters and how to interpret them. Full details of
the proposal are provided in the background document
<http://www.unicode.org/review/pri299/pri299-additional-flags-background.html>.

The UTC welcomes feedback on this proposed new mechanism. Feedback could
consist of an indication of support or opposition to the proposal, with
reasons why, or could consist of suggestions for improvement of the
proposal.
