About the Belarus flag emoji
🇧🇾 is the flag of Belarus: red over green with a red-and-white ornamental pattern along the hoist. Like every country flag, the Belarus emoji is really two regional indicator letters, B and Y, spelling the ISO code BY; side by side, BY merge into the Belarus flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there BY appears as the letters B Y. Belarus (BY) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); BY renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy BY from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Belarus with the other Europe flags, such as Faroe Islands, listed beside Belarus.
