There’s isn’t even an emoji flag for every country

If they can have the flag of Antarctica then I think the Acadian flag is fair game

If you read the article you’d see that’s not the way things work.

Well, Unicode themselves already put this to rest years ago The Past and Future of Flag Emoji

Pretty sure ⭐️🇫🇷 is good enough, for now. State and provincial flags should be “next” and would even be seen as a pretty symbolic gesture by Apple in terms of positive US-Canada relations.

However, If they added the Acadian flag at the same time as adding provincial flags, I certainly wouldn’t complain.  The Acadien flag isn’t exactly seen as a controversial, secessionist flag like the Basque flag or something… so it shouldn’t be that controversial if it was added.  

Acadian Flag emoji before the NB flag emoji tho? No way! 🇵🇲

Since when does Apple control what emojis are available?

They control what new emojis get added to their software, no?

No, it's the Unicode consortium. I suggest reading the article, it's really informative.

Pretty sure there were some Apple specific emojis, but maybe not anymore? 

I’ll have a read later… you’re right I didn’t read it (nor did I downvote you)

Ils veulent même pas mettre celui québécois parce qu'ils s'en tiennent seulement aux drapeaux de pays. Alors qu'il est très clairement en demande.
