Just a thought. Rather than modifiers, I think a more natural thing would be to have different base characters that reflect whether it's a flag, a pennant, waving, flying from a flag stock or whatever other variety. Base characters could be limited to an "approved" list, which could be extended as needed to cater to actual demand. In this context, I dislike the current proposal to use a WAVING flag as a base character for non-waving plan and rectangular images of flags.

See for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_flag#Rainbow_flag The colors of the rainbow peace flag (purple on top) are often inverted with respect to the LGBT flag (red on top), making them essentially two different flags. -- Doug Ewell | http://ewellic.org | Thornton, CO 🇺🇸
