How the British Indian Ocean Territory flag emoji works

🇮🇴 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇮 (U+1F1EE) and 🇴 (U+1F1F4), which spell IO, the two-letter code for British Indian Ocean Territory. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

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

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇮🇴 shows up as the letters IO. 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.
