About flags emojis
Flag emojis include every national flag plus special flags like the rainbow pride flag π³οΈβπ, the checkered racing flag π, and the plain white π³οΈ and black π΄ flags. This page gathers country and symbolic flags into one grid.
They are popular for sports, travel, nationality, identity and celebrations. Tap any flag to copy it in one click and paste it into captions, bios and messages β though some flags rely on newer Unicode support to display.
Flag emojis are built differently from other emojis: each country flag is a pair of regional indicator letters (πΊ + π¦ = πΊπ¦), which is why they sometimes appear as letters on systems that cannot render the flag. There are over 250 country and territory flags, plus special flags like the pirate flag π΄ββ οΈ and the rainbow pride flag π³οΈβπ.
In practice flags mark languages and locations in bios, celebrate national holidays and sports victories, and show solidarity. One caveat: Windows deliberately does not render country flags in most apps, showing letter pairs instead β your flag still displays correctly for phone users.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a flag emoji show as letters instead?
National flags are built from two regional-indicator letters. If a device or app does not support flag rendering β Windows is a common example β it shows the country code letters instead of the flag.
Is there a pride flag emoji?
Yes β the rainbow flag π³οΈβπ and the transgender flag π³οΈββ§οΈ are standard, along with the white π³οΈ, black π΄ and pirate-style flags.
How do I copy a flag emoji?
Click or tap any flag in the grid above to copy it instantly, then paste it anywhere that supports emoji.
Do flag emojis work on every device?
Most modern phones and apps display them, but some desktop platforms show country codes or boxes for national flags due to limited support.
Why do flag emojis show as letters on Windows?
Windows chose not to draw country flags, so it displays the underlying regional-indicator letters (like US) instead. On phones and Macs the same message shows the real flag.
How many flag emojis are there?
More than 250 country and territory flags, plus a handful of special ones β the white π³οΈ and black π΄ flags, pirate π΄ββ οΈ, rainbow π³οΈβπ, transgender π³οΈββ§οΈ and chequered π flags.
