Emoji Tag Sequence
Emoji Tag Sequences are a mechanism which allow a series of characters to describe or create a new format of emoji.
These tags are comprised of a Black Flag emoji followed by a series of Tag Characters. Tag Sequences are only currently used for subdivision flag support to support subregions or subdivisions specified under ISO 3166-2.
