How the Antarctica flag emoji works

🇦🇶 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇦 (U+1F1E6) and 🇶 (U+1F1F6), which spell AQ, the two-letter code for Antarctica. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

Why do I see "AQ" instead of the flag?

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇦🇶 shows up as the letters AQ. The emoji is still correct: paste it into a message and anyone reading on an iPhone, Android phone or Mac sees the flag, like the image at the top of this page.
