About the Bulgaria flag emoji
White, green and red horizontal bands — that is the Bulgaria flag as an emoji, 🇧🇬. The Bulgaria flag is built from the regional indicator letters B and G, the two-letter code BG, which fonts join into the single Bulgaria flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there BG appears as the letters B G. Bulgaria (BG) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); BG renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy BG from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Bulgaria with the other Europe flags, such as Ireland, listed beside Bulgaria.
