Description

In many countries web pages by public institutions must provide their web pages with language versions for simplified language and sign language to be considered accessible. In some settings its feasible to treat these as a language in the site package. We do this frequently

However when you do this there is no icon that can be used for this. It would be great if these could be introduced to be more inclusive.

There is the icons repository https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.Icons with the corresponding website https://typo3.github.io/TYPO3.Icons/index.html for TYPO3 icons.

I think it would be a good thing to create icons like we did for accessibility (https://typo3.github.io/TYPO3.Icons/icons/actions/actions-accessibility.html) but I do not know where the icon fits best (should it be in "Apps" like the page icons, or in "Content", as there also might be a specific content type.)

If I am not understanding it wrong, here we're talking about adding icons on the TYPO3 backend to represent those "languages".

The problem is that.. TYPO3 uses flags as language icons so... which flag should represent for example the "sign language" ?

TYPO3 12 and 13 have a series of "non-country" "generic" flag icons to cover such cases (I guess that's the intent ):

white, blue, indigo, purple, pink, red, orange, green, teal, cyan, rainbow
