🏳️ Flags Emojis

Country and territory flags, plus regional and thematic flags. Every country flag is built the same way, which explains a lot about how they behave.

How flag emoji actually work

A country flag is not a single character. It is two Regional Indicator Symbol letters — 🇯 + 🇵 produces 🇯🇵 — matching the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. That is why pasting a flag somewhere unsupported shows two boxed letters instead: the platform is rendering the raw pair. It is also why searching a two-letter code often finds the right flag faster than searching the country name.

Rendering support varies

Windows has never shipped colour country flags in its system font, so flags appear as letter pairs there unless a page supplies its own images — which this site does. Apple, Android, and most browsers on other platforms render them natively. The four subdivision flags (England, Scotland, Wales, and the UN) use a different, longer sequence and have the patchiest support of all.

Political sensitivity

Unicode encodes flags for regions with valid country codes and takes no position on statehood. Some platforms nonetheless hide or substitute particular flags in particular regions, so a flag that renders for you may not render for your reader.
