About the Aruba flag emoji
Light blue with two narrow yellow stripes and a red four-pointed star edged in white — that is the Aruba flag as an emoji, 🇦🇼. The Aruba flag is built from the regional indicator letters A and W, the two-letter code AW, which fonts join into the single Aruba flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there AW appears as the letters A W. Aruba (AW) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); AW renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy AW from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Aruba with the other Caribbean flags, such as U.S. Virgin Islands, listed beside Aruba.
