How the United Kingdom flag emoji works
🇬🇧 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇬 (U+1F1EC) and 🇧 (U+1F1E7), which spell GB, the two-letter code for United Kingdom. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.
Why do I see "GB" instead of the flag?
Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇬🇧 shows up as the letters GB. 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.
