How the Guinea-Bissau flag emoji works

🇬🇼 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇬 (U+1F1EC) and 🇼 (U+1F1FC), which spell GW, the two-letter code for Guinea-Bissau. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

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

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