❤️🅰️🖤 Anarchy Flag emoji #275

Closed Crissov closed 2 years ago

Crissov commented 7 years ago

Anarchists have been using several distinct symbols, e.g. a circled (red) uppercase letter ‘A’: Ⓐ 🅐. There is already a similar emoji dedicated to the blood type A: 🅰️.

They are also often using a black-and-red Anarchist Flag, usually divided diagonally.

The flag may feature the circled ‘A’ symbol or a five-spoked star ⭐️ 🌟 ✪ ✩ ★ ☆ ✯ .

The red triangular part may be replaced by a different color to represent a related political subgroup.

yellow-black (Capitalism) purple-black (Feminism) green-black (Ecologic) blue-black (Transhumanism) white-black (Pacisfism) cyan-black (Conservative) orange-black (Mutualism)

Sometimes, a simple Black Flag 🏴 is used instead (like the Red Flag for Communism #204 or Socialism).

In mocking the flag of Nazi Germany, the symbol may be shown on a white solid circle over a red background.

Possible Emoji ZWJ Sequences: ❤️‍🖤, 🖤‍❤️, ❤️‍🅰️‍🖤, ❤️‍⭐️‍🖤, ❤️‍✝️‍🖤, 🏴‍🅰️ …

I haven't seen this combination before and wonder if you could share context of this one.

Apparently it is not widely used, but was specifically made for a project called Anarchopedia.

I would absolutely love this!

I would like to second the suggestion of 🏴‍🅰️ (1F3F4-FE0F-200D-1F170-FE0F) for the ZWJ sequence. If/when this happens, that combination is probably the one that offers the most meaningful fall-back glyph sequence.

I saw an anarchist on Youtube use this: 🌹🖤

Openmoji has actually released a diagonal red/black anarchist flag. It's just cool that now I can use it im my browser but sad that like nowhere else. [https://github.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji/releases/tag/13.1.0] It uses the sequence "1F3F4-FE0F-200D-1F170-FE0F" and was made by @samhocevar #306 This one --> 🏴️‍🅰️
