Meaning & usage
Flag emoji are not single characters. Each one is a pair of 'regional indicator' letters โ ๐บ๐ธ is literally the letters U and S in a special alphabet โ and your phone draws the Stars and Stripes when it sees the pair US together. That is why there is no single code point for this flag: the breakdown table below shows the two real characters it is made of.
The system covers nearly every country, and the grid on this page collects the most-copied flags, each one click to copy. One honest caveat: Windows historically does not draw flag emoji in most apps (you may see the letters 'US' instead) โ the copied text is still correct and shows as a flag on phones and Macs.
Examples in use

How to type it
Windows
Press Win+. to open the emoji panel and search 'flag' โ or simply copy the flag from this page and paste it (Ctrl+V). Pasted flags work in browsers, documents and most apps.
Mac
Press Control+Command+Space to open the Character Viewer and search 'flag', or copy the flag from this page and paste it (Cmd+V).
iPhone & Android
Every phone emoji keyboard has a flags section โ but the fastest route is copying the flag here and pasting it into your message or bio.
Linux
Copy and paste works everywhere. Flag support depends on your emoji font: some Linux setups show the two code letters (like 'US') instead of a coloured flag, which is a font issue, not a text error.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the US flag show as 'US' letters on my Windows PC?
Microsoft's emoji font leaves flag sequences unrendered in many Windows apps, so the two regional-indicator letters show through. The text itself is the real flag emoji โ it displays correctly on phones, Macs and most websites.
Can I copy other countries' flags the same way?
Yes โ every flag is a two-letter regional-indicator pair. The grid on this page has the most popular ones; Japan's flag has its own page too.
Is the flag emoji one character?
It is two characters (U+1F1FA and U+1F1F8) that render as one picture. Copying from this page always takes the complete pair.
