There are only two queer flags in the official standard for emojis: 🏳️‍🌈 and 🏳️‍⚧️. The Unicode Consortium has made it clear that it doesn't intend to add any more… But when has a committee ever stopped us queers from enjoying our flags? 😉

What if instead of resorting to heart emojis in the colours from a flag (like 💛🤍💜🖤), you could just say you're 🏳‍⚨ nonbinary or 🏳‍∞‍❤ polyamorous with an actual flag? We've created a font that circumvents / extends the Unicode standard and lets you use a bunch of queer flags inline!

FontAwesome provides thousands of icons, but you probably only use a few dozen on your website. Instead of loading all of them as a webfont, you could use SVG sprites.

This library is a simple helper that:

  • registers the icons you use in the place you use it,
  • dumps a refined set of SVG symbols at the end of your page.

You can check out a blog post about possible gains.
