How the Sierra Leone flag emoji works

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡± is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, πŸ‡Έ (U+1F1F8) and πŸ‡± (U+1F1F1), which spell SL, the two-letter code for Sierra Leone. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

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

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡± shows up as the letters SL. 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.
