How Do Flag Emoji Work?
When you type 🇰🇷 on your smartphone, the South Korean flag appears. But flag emoji work quite differently from other emoji.
The Technical Magic
Flag emoji are created by combining two Regional Indicator Symbols — special characters from 🇦 to 🇿. Pair the correct two letters matching a country's code, and the flag appears.
Examples:
- 🇰 + 🇷 = 🇰🇷 (South Korea)
- 🇺 + 🇸 = 🇺🇸 (United States)
- 🇯 + 🇵 = 🇯🇵 (Japan)
These codes follow the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 international standard for country codes.

Like all emoji, flag designs vary by platform. Historically, Windows had poor flag emoji support, often showing blank squares instead.

Beyond 🇬🇧 (UK), England , Scotland , and Wales each have their own flag emoji using a special "Tag Sequence" method.
