How the South Africa flag emoji works
🇿🇦 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇿 (U+1F1FF) and 🇦 (U+1F1E6), which spell ZA, the two-letter code for South Africa. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.
Why do I see "ZA" instead of the flag?
Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇿🇦 shows up as the letters ZA. 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.
