Quoting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3Schools, "W3Schools is a freemium
educational website for learning coding online. Initially released in 1998, it"
(…) "is run by Refsnes Data in Norway."
Its virtual maskot is a cartoon
lynx (“links”, get it?), and some of the scenes showing it in several settings
include a flag held as part of an astronaut suit:

https://www.w3schools.com/images/lynx_in_space.webp
This flag is
plain green with the W3Schools logo in white (opposite of
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:W3Schools_logo.svg the logo’s usual
depiction); this flag, which apparently has no use outside of this one cartoon
illustration, is forked, non-tappering, with a cut-out of approx. 90°; the shade
of green used is exactly RGB:04AA6D.
As seen in the cartoon, this flag
is shown with readable logo but with the staff at the viewer’s right hand side.
This suggests that the flag has a non-mirrored reverse, unless the obverse is
meant to be unreadable which is very unlikely.
