What the list shows
17 of the 196 national flags here have a triangle in the design. That is 9% of the flags in this list, counting a triangle or wedge at the hoist. The list is the 196 states the United Nations recognises as members or observers, plus Kosovo; territories are left out because most of them share their parent's flag.
By continent: Africa 6 of 54, Asia 6 of 47, Europe 2 of 46, North America 2 of 22, South America 1 of 13. Africa has the most (6), and Asia has the highest share (13% of its flags).

Other symbols alongside
6 of the 17 have no other symbol at all. The ones that share space with another symbol most often pair it with star (9), coat of arms (4), sun (2).
Capitals of the first few, to place them: Bahamas (Nassau), Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo), Cuba (Havana), Czechia (Prague), Djibouti (Djibouti), and so on down the list. The shortest names here are Cuba, Nepal and Sudan.
How the labels were made: colours are measured from the flag image (a colour counts if it covers at least 0.6% of the flag, edges excluded, so a small emblem can add a colour), and symbols were labelled by hand. A flag with a detailed coat of arms can legitimately appear under several symbols. If a flag looks mislabelled, the corrections link on the about page is the way to say so.
How the flags are labelled. Images are from the open-source flag-icons set (MIT). Colours are measured from each image; symbols are labelled by hand. Names follow the source lists and do not imply any judgment on the status of any territory. Sources and limits.
