About the Greenland flag emoji
The Greenland flag emoji 🇬🇱 shows white over red with a disc of the opposite colours set toward the hoist. Under the hood, GL is the regional indicator symbols G L; the Greenland flag appears whenever G and L are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there GL appears as the letters G L. Greenland (GL) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); GL renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy GL from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Greenland with the other North America flags, such as St. Pierre & Miquelon, listed beside Greenland.
