How the Botswana flag emoji works

🇧🇼 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇧 (U+1F1E7) and 🇼 (U+1F1FC), which spell BW, the two-letter code for Botswana. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

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

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇧🇼 shows up as the letters BW. 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.
