Summary description: Vexillogical symbols
Announcement text:
A new package, vexillology, implements the symbols (often seen in the Wikipedia pages for "Flag of XXX", for example) to describe flags and ensigns. These include symbols to denote how to rotate the flag, how it should be hung vertically, and what purposes it is used for (e.g., civilian use, government use, military use).
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/vexillology The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/vexillology/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

vexillology – Vexillogical symbols
This package implements symbols used by vexillologists (people who study flags) to indicate certain aspects of flags, such as where they are used, who uses them, and what they look like. The package uses TikZ to draw the symbols, whose heights scale with the font size.
