Apple Removes Flag Icons in Monterey 12.4
by ericmay on Hacker News.
For those of you who enjoyed having a flag icon on your menu bar by using the keyboard input work-around, Apple has replaced the beautiful flag icons with two-letter icons. This makes the Mac less fun, less colorful, and less enjoyable to use. For true international users (not those of us just using it to display something pretty) it’ll be harder to tell what language you are using because flags are easier to identify than gray text. Bad UI move Apple.
