D. Gray-man
(ディー・グレイマン) is
a 2004- manga series by Katsura Hoshino, also adapted into
an anime series between 2006-08. Set in the 19th century
and drawn with a heavy goth influence, it follows a mystical organization
called the Black Order in its fight against a sorcerer who is
raising an army of the damned.

The flag of the Black Order appears
in the second volume of the (B&W) comic, outside their HQ in England. It is
black, with the Order's badge in white: a kind of very spiky Latin
cross (there may be a specific name for this, but I have no idea what it is),
whose extremities are dotted with alchemical or astrological symbols and whose
vertex consists of an odd rosette resembling a rotary-phone dial, inscribed
with what looks like the entire Hebrew alphabet.

In the anime adaptation, the England HQ is visited in ep. 2, but the flag
does not show up at that time, though as I haven't watched more it
may appear later. The TV series slightly modifies the Order's symbol
(worn as a uniform badge) by abbreviating the long arm of the cross, which
turns it into a simple multipointed star — one assumes this would
carry over to any flag as well.
