Founded in 1969 at the third International Congress of Vexillology in Boston, FIAV holds biennial congresses, ratifies a system of standard usage symbols for flag display, and publishes resolutions on terminology. Its symbol grid for normal, ceremonial and reserved use is the closest thing to a universal vexillological notation.<\/p>\n<p>**Example**: A FIAV-style symbol grid printed next to a flag tells the reader at a glance whether it is a civil, state or war flag, on land or at sea.<\/p>\n<p>**See also**: [vexillology](\/glossary\/vexillology\/), [vexilloid](\/glossary\/vexilloid\/), [iso-3166](\/glossary\/iso-3166\/), [construction-sheet](\/glossary\/construction-sheet\/)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-665","term","type-term","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term\/665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/term"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/term"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flags.page\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
