Where is the St Patrick’s Saltire emoji ???

Identity is a fundamental human need. Therefore it is fundamental that we are able to express our identities. Apple updated their emojis however there is an emoji missing which is of much importance to me, my family, my friends and the many people in my community who have been left unable to express a part of who we are. That emoji is the St Patrick’s Saltire. The St Patrick’s Saltire is a red saltire (X-shaped cross) on a white field which is used to represent the island of Ireland and St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The St Patrick’s Saltire is of great historical importance to us and it is of even greater importance to us that we can express this part of our identity well into the future.
