As the Ulster Banner is still in use, and still does unofficially
represent Northern Ireland, perhaps it should have its own codepoint.
I'm not sure of the strength of the argument for St Patrick's Cross.
Perhaps it too should have its own codepoint, especially if it is
evolving from being a flag of Ireland (apparently not used by the Irish
rugby union team) to a flag of Northern Ireland.
