About the Guinea flag emoji
Flag of Guinea, red, yellow and green vertical bands. The emoji is ๐ฌ๐ณ. The characters behind the Guinea flag are the regional indicators for G and N, spelling GN; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Guineaโs. Windows has no flag artwork, so there GN appears as the letters G N. Guinea (GN) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); GN renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy GN from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Guinea with the other Africa flags, such as Togo, listed beside Guinea.

The flag of Guinea-Conakry
Guinea is officially the Republic of Guinea, but because it shares its name with Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea, it is often called Guinea-Conakry โ after its capital, Conakry. The ๐ฌ๐ณ flag emoji is the flag of that country: three vertical bands of red, yellow and green.
If you see โGuinea-Conakryโ in a post or bio, the ๐ฌ๐ณ emoji is the right one to pair with it. It marks a place, a nationality or a sports team from the Republic of Guinea, not the Guinea-Bissau flag or the Equatorial Guinea flag.
