# Flag icons

SVG country flags used by the language selector in the root `README.md`.

They are served locally (instead of Unicode flag emoji) because regional-indicator
flag emoji do **not** render on Windows and several Safari/WebKit configurations,
which broke the "In 43 languages" table on those platforms.

## Source & license

Flags are from [lipis/flag-icons](https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons)
(`flags/4x3/`), licensed **MIT**. Each file is named by its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
country code (e.g. `br.svg`, `us.svg`). The six Indian-language cells (`in`, `hi`,
`gu`, `mr`, `ta`, `te`) reuse the single `in.svg`.
