Hi chaps,

I am creating and app and I have an API that returns a JSON collection of Emoji, however the country flag are displayed as country codes.
I plan in using your collection of SVG flag data, but I discovered that the first country code (Ascension Island) on the unicode list is missing.

Would it be possible for you to add Ascension Island and also others on the list if you find they are missing?

Thanks,

Luke

hmm... I have just been having a look at the ISO codes and it seems like Ascension Island is not listed, despite it having a unicode of AC.
It's supprising to me that they are different.

So I guess as you are sicking to ISO and not unicode you can disregard this request and I will rethink my app design.
