How the Japan flag emoji works

🇯🇵 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇯 (U+1F1EF) and 🇵 (U+1F1F5), which spell JP, the two-letter code for Japan. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

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

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇯🇵 shows up as the letters JP. 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.
