12. Awesome Codepoints

Code Points that Affect Others

The Regional Indicator Symbols U+1F1E6 to U+1F1FF resemble the 26 latin characters. They are used to create flag emoji. Since the Unicode consortium didn’t feel like getting on board with international politics, the solution to flags is to combine these 26 characters to the respective ISO code for a country. Examples:

Country ISO Code Code Points Emoji (if supported)

USA US U+1F1FA + U+1F1F8 

Germany DE U+1F1E9 + U+1F1EA 

China CN U+1F1E8 + U+1F1F3 

Country	ISO Code	Code Points	Emoji (if supported)
USA	US	U+1F1FA + U+1F1F8	
Germany	DE	U+1F1E9 + U+1F1EA	
China	CN	U+1F1E8 + U+1F1F3	

Record Holders and Extremes / Breaking and Gluing other characters

A close second place in this regard goes to the CJK unified ideographs 妛, 挧, 暃, 椦, 槞, 蟐, 袮, 閠, 駲, 墸, 壥, and 彁. These so-called “ghost characters” came to Unicode via the Japanese JIS standard, where they were added, because they were mis-read or misinterpreted from other signs, when JIS was compiled from original printed text sources.
