About the England flag emoji
The England flag emoji 🏴 shows the red cross of St George on white; a tag sequence based on the black flag, supported on iOS, Android and most apps but not on Windows. The England flag is a tag sequence, GB-ENG: hidden tag characters after the black flag 🏴 spell out GB-ENG. iOS, Android, WhatsApp and most apps show England; Windows and some older systems show a plain black flag for GB-ENG. Windows shows 🏴 for England. England was added in Emoji 5.0, later than the main set; GB-ENG renders on every current platform except Windows. Copy GB-ENG from the card; the flag emoji hub groups England with the other Europe flags, such as Belgium, listed beside England.
