Backstory
Flag emojis are part of the Unicode standard, with each country's flag represented by a sequence of two regional indicator symbol letters (e.g., A for Austria is represented by 'A' and 'T' for AT, which maps to F1E6 and F1F2, respectively). These were introduced in Unicode 6.0 (2010), allowing for direct representation of national flags in digital text.
Usage Examples
- Identifying origin: 'I'm from 🇦🇹.'
- Showing support for a country: 'Go 🇦🇹!'
- Representing a location: 'Having a great time in Vienna 🇦🇹.'
- International events: 'Results for the 🇦🇹 team are in.'
