This is an unbelievably ignorant comment. As someone else pointed out, Swiss German is not the same as German and there are many (widely spoken) languages that are spoken in many different countries as there are many countries where many different languages are spoken.

The entire point of TFA is that there isn’t a simple mapping between flags of countries and languages so we should probably stop trying to create one.

And it turned out that this assumption was a bad one hence the need for Unicode. Why make the same mistake again?
