About the Christmas Island flag emoji
🇨🇽 is the flag of Christmas Island: green and blue divided diagonally with the Southern Cross, a golden bosun bird and a map of the island. Like every country flag, the Christmas Island emoji is really two regional indicator letters, C and X, spelling the ISO code CX; side by side, CX merge into the Christmas Island flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there CX appears as the letters C X. Christmas Island (CX) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); CX renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy CX from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Christmas Island with the other Oceania flags, such as Micronesia, listed beside Christmas Island.
