~Katana-San~

When they were, only countries officially recognized by the U.N. are designated as ISO-3166-1 entities. These are the only entities that would be considered for a flag. Subdivisions are ISO-3166-2.

Kurdistan is an unofficial area that drapes across several recognized countries. Regional/subdivision flags were never considered, which is why there are no individual state flags for the 50 U.S. states. Only the United States flag is represented.

Kurdistan is a region that sprawls across Turkey, Syria, Iran and others. It is not a country unto itself.

If the Emoji Subcommittee recommends the addition of a Catalonia flag emoji, then it looks like favoritism unless all the other subdivisions of Spain are added.

A 16 bit font can hold up to 65,536 glyphs. If you counted every single municipality in the world (regions, cities, towns, etc.), there are roughly 4.3 million. You'd need 66 fonts just for flags to cover all of them.
