I just came across a rather "odd" subject related to flags (maybe that's my first impression but as I red the article it seems that this "naming" or "identification" system has been use for quite a while. It began with software developers and systems engineers. Text Flags One new patriotic variant is the text flag. These are usually represented inside a pair of close brackets symbols, to indicate a flag flying in the breeze ) ). Tricolors are obviously a problem, so alternatives are used, such as )(7 ), meant to represent the Irish harp Source: Wikipedia: Emoticon Text Flags
