<div id="ygrps-yiv-1221974"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;btw i think the eh diglyph is used for western sahara<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Indeed it is.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;tho the eu may also be reserved for the european union i dont know<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>EU is on the ISO 3166-1 reserved list, so it can&#39;t be used for any other <br/>
country or territory.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;but if necessary maybe ek would do & be unmistakable too<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>In theory, ISO 3166-2 exists for codifying sub-divisions of countries, <br/>
although I think there is unfortunately only one identifier for the entire <br/>
Basque region within Spain.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;Let&#39;s rush to ISO, before they take that away from us too...<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Almost every region that has ambitions of being a country entertains the <br/>
idea of obtaining their own ISO 3166-1 code, but you have to be a sovereign <br/>
state or a detached entity to get one.<br/>
