Backstory
Flag emojis are formed by combining two regional indicator symbols. In this case, 'F' (Regional Indicator Symbol Letter F) and 'I' (Regional Indicator Symbol Letter I) combine to form the flag of Finland. This system was introduced with Unicode 6.0 in 2010 to allow for the representation of all national flags.
