Summary

Updates the Iran flag emoji (🇮🇷) to the Lion and Sun flag.


Description

I'd like to point out:

Precedent: Twitter/Twemoji merged this exact change today (twitter/twemoji#1440),
and this repo already updated Syria's flag to the independence flag (googlefonts/noto-emoji#512)
before any official UN recognition.

"Current state": The Lion and Sun flag is currently being used by millions
of Iranians both inside Iran and in the diaspora. It represents the people,
not a government.

Emoji precedent: The Taiwan flag (🇹🇼) is included despite the PRC's position.
Emoji flags don't always align strictly with UN recognition.

I believe this change aligns with how this project handled Syria's flag.
But I respect whatever decision the maintainers make.


Changes

  • Updated IR flag assets (PNG and SVG)

Testing

  • Verified that updated flag SVG renders correctly in browsers/viewers
  • PNG asset displays without errors in standard image viewers
  • No invalid SVG syntax or broken tags introduced
