Republic of Kosovo alpha 2 code is incorrect or missing about flag-icons

here you can find all ISO Codes. Some of them, like xk, are just user assigned so they are not officially assigned. I think that's the reason why there is no xk flag.

@N8boy, I see. I get the countries from here and the data is not under my control. I'd prefer if I wouldn't do any data manipulation and if the flags would match the same alpha 2 code that mostly everyone uses.

Otherwise, under what code is this country flag if it exists?

@N8boy is right.. I'm sorry but I won't add any user assigned flags..

[rolandjitsu]

@N8boy, sure, so what your are saying is that you'll just ignore the existence of one country :) Because you do not have that flag as part of the pack, no matter if the code is user assigned or not.

Anyway, I have just decided to use PNG sprites instead since I do not want to make 250+ requests for each flag, even if it means that I will not have the flexibility of scaling up/down.

@rolandjitsu In this particular project I'm including only the official flags.. it's very simple :)

If someone wants to include the user assigned it's super easy to fork and add them to match their individual needs..

voicing my request also for XK also. it's widely used, including the European Commission.

Need the Kosovo (XK) flag as well, as the previous commenter noted, it is widely used, even in international institutions.

There's even an emoji for the XK flag.

Kosovo getting an official code may remain a political issue forever but there is no reason for it to remain a technical issue. I understand the initial hesitation, but at this point the XK code is universally accepted as a provisional code by enough organizations and databases that it belongs in this project.

I can see the flag has been added.

So that people reading this issue would know.
