Thanks to Unicode, nearly every language and writing system across the globe can be represented online. Even emojis have designated sections of the code charts, along with the tags of the associated emoji codes. Unfortunately, however, subnational flags may be re-rendered as black flags at times, since the tags in Unicode may not be maintained as appropriately as such. England, Scotland, and Wales are examples of such subnational entity flags. Beyond the writing systems and the obvious, even ancient and otherwise historic systems are also available and represented, including Cuneiform, hieroglyphs of numerous types, and even archaeological systems.

Hype for the Future 49T: What about Romanian?
The Romanian language requires the comma accents below the letters S and T as accented letters that change the pronunciation of certain words in the Romanian language. Even though specifically the comma letters are in Latin Extended-B, many of the other Romanian accents exist in Latin Extended-A or perhaps even in Latin-1 Supplement. Therefore, the Latin Extended-B characters are specifically designated as Romanian additions. Otherwise, most of the letters in Latin Extended-B and later down the code charts are not Indo-European nor European at all, such as the capital schwa, which strictly represents Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 while the Cyrillic version represents Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 and (to a lesser extent) Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬.

Hype for the Future 49R: Latin Extended-A
Spanning U+0100 and U+017F of the Unicode Code Charts, Latin Extended-A predominantly services localization and internationalization for Eastern European languages in the Latin script, including Polish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Turkish, Czech, and Slovak, though not every accented letter may necessarily be represented in the code block for any of the aforementioned languages.
