Backstory
Flag emojis became standardized in Unicode to represent countries and regional flags. Each flag is composed of two regional indicator symbol letters (e.g., 'FR' for France, 'US' for United States). The sequence 🇫🇷 (1F1EB 1F1F2) combines the regional indicator symbols for 'F' and 'R' to form the French flag. These were introduced as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010.
