Brittany wins you. Many are showing it anyway this Monday on the social network Twitter. Like many concerts and events around the world, the "Gwenn ha Du", black and white flag and ermines of Brittany, is clearly visible on the world wide web at the start of this week.
Indeed the use of two hashtags (hashtags) - #EmojiBZH and #GwennHaDu - has resulted in the addition of a small Breton flag to your tweets since Monday. The association “www.bzh”, which campaigns for the creation of a Breton emoji on a global scale launched a communication campaign, which it had financed by “crowdfunding” at the end of 2019. The hashtag is for provisional but this campaign is the final part of a long-standing operation for its sustainability.
"Here, lobbying comes into play"
“We submitted a file to the Unicode Consortium in September 2018 and to the platforms. There, it is the lobbying which comes into play ", revealed to us David Lesvenan, herald of the Breton candidacy last year during the first phase of this operation" commando ". The Unicode Consortium has raised more than 5,000 possible regional flags worldwide, not easy to stand out in this context.
