I've tried.  I can get close but it is really ugly and not really usable.
The main problem is the two saltires (being St Andrew's cross in white and
St Patrick's cross in red and superimposed) since it is rather difficult to
get an acceptable rendition of the diagonal lines.  I also found the space
occupied by the 5250 attribute bytes detracted from the aesthetic appeal.

For detailed and accurate instruction on drawing a Union Jack see:
http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/union-jack/union-jack.html

Making an Australian or New Zealand flag in DDS is even more problematic
because the Union Jack occupies the upper-left quadrant and 5250 characters
are simply too large to allow an acceptable reduction.  There is a lot to be
said for fairly simple flags such as the Irish flag, US flag, or most (all?)
of the Scandinavian ones.  Vertical or horizontal lines or bars and standard
crosses work well.  Anything else is too hard for 5250.  However, for waht
it is worth, here is my attempt at a Union Jack flag. If you can improve on
it then please send me a copy.
