The country code CQ = Sark is in Unicode 16.0's list of flags / RGI list.
Unicode 16 will be finalized in September, and then it's up to the main emoji fonts to add support.
Is this something worth adding to flag/data/__init__.py, or should it wait until it becomes more usable?

I have listed CQ as "unsupported" at the moment. My plan is to wait for iOS and Android to include it.

Expected support timeline for Unicode 16.0 according to emojipedia.org:

Based on last year's release schedule, here is our estimate for when you can expect to see Emoji 16.0 emojis appear across different devices and platforms:

  • September 2024: Google previews its designs via its Noto Color Emoji and Noto Emoji font site pages.
  • October 2024: Samsung will likely debut its support in a One UI update
  • January / February 2025: WhatsApp will release their Emoji 16.0 for Android devices
  • Early 2025: Google will begin to progressively support Emoji 16.0 across their different platforms (e.g. Chromebook, YouTube)
  • March 2025: Google will provide support for Android devices
  • March / April 2025: Apple will release their Emoji 16.0 support via iOS 18.4
  • Summer 2025: Facebook, including Messenger (though support for Emoji 15.1 has yet to be provided)
  • Summer / Fall 2025: Microsoft via a major Windows 11
