About the British Indian Ocean Territory flag emoji
🇮🇴 is the flag of British Indian Ocean Territory: wavy blue and white stripes with the Union Jack and a palm tree topped by a crown. Like every country flag, the British Indian Ocean Territory emoji is really two regional indicator letters, I and O, spelling the ISO code IO; side by side, IO merge into the British Indian Ocean Territory flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there IO appears as the letters I O. British Indian Ocean Territory (IO) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); IO renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy IO from the card; the flag emoji hub groups British Indian Ocean Territory with the other Other territories flags, such as Heard Island & McDonald Islands, listed beside British Indian Ocean Territory.
