About the Benin flag emoji
The Benin flag emoji ๐ง๐ฏ shows a green vertical band at the hoist with yellow over red horizontal bands. Under the hood, BJ is the regional indicator symbols B J; the Benin flag appears whenever B and J are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there BJ appears as the letters B J. Benin (BJ) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); BJ renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy BJ from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Benin with the other Africa flags, such as Morocco, listed beside Benin.
