What 🚩 triangular flag means
Eight flags that belong to nobody in particular. 🏁 ends a race or a project, 🏳️ concedes an argument, and 🏴☠️ covers piracy in both senses. 🏳️🌈, built as a sequence joining the white flag to a rainbow, was added in Emoji 4.0 in 2016, with the transgender flag 🏳️⚧️ following in 2020. 🚩 now mostly warns about someone's behaviour rather than marking a spot.
