About the Canary Islands flag emoji
White, blue and yellow vertical bands, with the coat of arms in the state version — that is the Canary Islands flag as an emoji, 🇮🇨. The Canary Islands flag is built from the regional indicator letters I and C, the two-letter code IC, which fonts join into the single Canary Islands flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there IC appears as the letters I C. Canary Islands (IC) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); IC renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy IC from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Canary Islands with the other Europe flags, such as Slovakia, listed beside Canary Islands.

A single flag for the whole archipelago
There is no separate Tenerife flag or Gran Canaria flag emoji; 🇮🇨 is the flag for all seven main islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Its white, blue and yellow bands with the coat of arms represent the entire region.
To show island pride, pair 🇮🇨 with a local landmark emoji, such as 🌋 for Mount Teide on Tenerife or 🏖️ for the beaches of Gran Canaria. It’s a simple way to make your location clear while using the official flag.
The Tenerife flag emoji
Tenerife does not have its own flag emoji; the Canary Islands flag 🇮🇨 is used to represent the whole autonomous community, including Tenerife. The emoji shows the civil flag: three vertical bands of white, blue, and yellow. The version with the coat of arms is reserved for official institutions. In everyday messages, 🇮🇨 works for a beach trip post, a CD Tenerife match update, or a proud Canarian moment. The flag emoji is sometimes mistaken for a country flag, but it represents a Spanish autonomous community.
