crossed flags Emoji

The crossed flags emoji displays a flag, used to represent a country, region, or affiliation — commonly seen in social media bios, sports commentary, travel posts, and international conversations to indicate nationality, location, or support.

Category context: The Flags category represents national, regional, and subdivision flags using a special Unicode mechanism — most country flags are built from pairs of "regional indicator" letter characters rather than being single dedicated flag characters.

Cataloged under Flag within the Flags category, crossed flags is the 260th of 270 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 0.6 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, it is represented by a single Unicode code point rather than a combined sequence, making it one of the simpler emoji to encode and display reliably across platforms. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+1F38C.

💡 Good to know: Not all platforms render every flag — some operating systems display the raw two-letter country code instead of a flag graphic for certain regions, particularly for less common or newly added flags.
