iconinput-sourcelanguagemacos
Some languages like Spanish and Russian use the country flags for language input, while others like Chinese and Japanese are not. So I would like to change language input icons such that all languages have the country flags for aesthetics. I also want to set different icons to different input system on Japanese.
Is this possible on macOS?
(I use Big Sur Beta 2 but a solution on Catalina is totally fine.)
Settings -> General -> International -> Language -> Make sure it's set to English.
If this doesn't work, SYNC to your computer and see if it goes back.
In Preferences, go to Keyboard, select the second tab and then "Keyboard and Text Input" (or similar). The key combinations to switch Input Sources should be shown on the right (and may need to be re-assigned because the default assignment conflicts with Spotlight).

The only way to do this as far as I know is to create custom keyboards with a app like Ukelele, where you can create any icon you want for a layout. But Ukelele cannot make custom keyboards for complex "input methods" like Chinese and Japanese.
