About the Greece flag emoji
Nine blue and white stripes with a white cross on blue in the upper hoist — that is the Greece flag as an emoji, 🇬🇷. The Greece flag is built from the regional indicator letters G and R, the two-letter code GR, which fonts join into the single Greece flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there GR appears as the letters G R. Greece (GR) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); GR renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy GR from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Greece with the other Europe flags, such as Iceland, listed beside Greece.
